Match without tomorrow for Darussafaka since if he loses he may be 2 wins behind the 8th place that qualifies for the playoffs. Blatt's team before the match had a record of 11-12 and was one victory behind Efes and Baskonia, with the Spanish team beating Milan yesterday while Efes plays away from home with Unix Kazan.
Panathinaikos from his side fell from the Acropolis and found a wallet after beating Unix in the end in OAKA with 83-82 thanks to James's three-pointer at the end. with the red and whites being 1,5 wins ahead of Fener it would not be unlikely a defeat in Turkey that would bring them closer to 6th place. Anyway Pascual's team is not convincing away from home where it has 3 wins in 11 matches.
Victory for the Turks at 1,68 in a match that looks like a final if they want to keep their hopes alive for entry into the playoffs.
