Maccabi suffered their second home loss of the season in a thriller at Menora Mivtachim Arena. Zvezda are now just one game behind the Israeli team and holds the head-to-head advantage. Wade Baldwin was superb for Maccabi with a career-high 38 points and nearly forced overtime with a halfcourt shot, but overall Red Star was the better squad.
Partizan grabbed their fifth road win of the season by downing Bayern at Audi Dome. Partizan improved to 13-11 in the standings while Bayern dropped to 9-15 after their second loss against coach Zeljko Obradovic's team.
Barcelona completed one of their more convincing wins this season by totally dominating Virtus at Virtus Segrafedo Arena. Despite losing the fourth-period score by 36-18, the visitors never saw a real threat to the victory after amassing a game-high 37-point advantage late in the third quarter.
