Day 9 of the Basketball Champions League has concluded after Nanterre beating Avellino on the road. There’s no better way to finish the year in the BCL than a thrilling double-overtime game.
Earlier today the game between PAOK and Gaziantep needed the extra five minutes to decide the winner, while AEK crushed Venezia and made a strong statement.
In the first game of the day, Pinar Karsiyaka beat Juventus on the wings of the leading MVP candidate D.J. Kennedy.
The Basketball Champions League will be back on January 9th after a well-deserved break and here are the tonight’s results and standings.
