Three teams came into Basketball Champions League Regular Season Gameday 5 with a spotless W-L record, but only Iberostar Tenerife extended its undefeated run with a late escape. Casademont Zaragoza and EB Pau-Lacq-Orthez were responsible for JDA Dijon and Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem falling to 4-1.
Elsewhere, Kyle Wiltjer and Keith Langford erupted for Turk Telekom and AEK that both improved to 4-1. The Queen now carries a three-game winning streak, the same goes for Dinamo Sassari and Brose Bamberg, all building momentum towards a playoffs berth.
ERA Nymburk won on the road breaking over Nizhny Novgorod into second place of Group C. Telekom Baskets Bonn, UNET Holon, Peristeri winmasters, Teksut Bandirma, Besiktas Sompo Sigorta and Anwil Wloclawek were victorious as well, while Lietkabelis and PAOK got off the mark.
