Week 5 of the FIBA Champions League was completed with some quite interesting results.
Monaco, Aris and Besiktas (along with Neptunas that played on Tuesday) remain the absolute “teams to beat”, being the only squads with a perfect record, since Aris brought down Banvit (thanks to a double-double of 19 points and 10 rebounds by Vlado Jankovic) and Strasbourg forced Tenerife to its first defeat of the season.
In its home arena, no less.
