In the game that was Cedevita’s last real chance to stay until the last moment in the race for Top16, the favorite, defending champions Maccabi Tel Aviv, got the 82-71 win. That’s a gift for Alba Berlin, which now can qualify to Top16 in some hours by beating Limoges.
Five players of the winners scored in double digits with Devin Smith being the top scorer (14 p.). Jeremy Pargo also contributed 9 points and also 7 assists. For Cedevita Fran Pilepic scored 22 points, however the hosts shined only in the third quarter, when they came back from an 11 points deficit. Still the final period belonged to Maccabi after a 17-6 run (71-59).
