The duel between former Israeli champ Mark Lyons (24 p.) and Aleksandar Rasic (22 p.) in the win of Usak over Cluj (93-90) stole the show in the first leg of the second qualifying round of FIBA Champions League.
Everything is still open for the last four open spots of the regular season, however Bakken Bears and Ironi Nahariya after their road wins have a key advantage for the second leg which is going to be played on Thursday. Four teams will get to continue their Champions League season and four other will have to settle for FIBA Europe Cup.
