A solid finish for the reigning champions of the Basketball Champions League in Palais des Sports Jean-Michel Geoffroy.

After trailing at halftime in the two previous wins, back in the 2019-20 edition of the Champions League, the German club went to the break at 32-32 on Wednesday. Besides a third win in as many games versus the specific foe, shaping a five-game streak across continental and domestic action was an additional success.
