The sixth gameday of 2019-20 Basketball Champions League might have been the most exciting so far as it featured numerous comebacks and thriller finishes.
Dinamo Sassari made one of the comebacks – from 15 points down – as they prevailed over UNET Holon on the road in Group A. Dyshawn Pierre was one of the key factors in Italians’ win by notching 23 points and ten rebounds double-double, becoming the first player this season to log a 20/10 performance in multiple games.
In Group B, RASTA Vechta made an upset against AEK in Greece and catching up to them at the top of the standings with 4-2 records.
Group C also had its excitements as Iberostar Tenerife almost suffered its first loss but they went on an 11-0 run against VEF Riga to stop that from happening.
Adam Smith stole the spotlight in Group D once more after scoring 31 points and leading PAOK past Casademont Zaragoza and to their second win.
