Fresh from downing one heavyweight in a thrilling win over Fenerbahce, fast-improving Virtus Segafredo Bologna delivered another prestigious scalp by taking down co-leader Barcelona at Palau Blaugrana, 83-75 (26-15, 16-24, 18-18, 23-18).

Milos Teodosic's deep three-pointer over Jan Vesely extended Virtus' lead to 8 points (71-63) with 5 minutes to go. The Serbian point guard was scoreless until the 6:19 mark in the fourth.

Teodosic hit another three and provided some dimes to Ismael Bako, while Semi Ojeleye showed fight and hustle and the visitors' advantage went up to 10 points (80-70) with 1:30 left on the clock. That was more than enough to secure the W.

Iffe Lundberg scored a game-high 20 points, but Semi Ojeleye – 14 points and 4 rebounds – and Milos Teodosic – 8 points and 6 assists – were also crucial in Virtus getting the win.

Barcelona: Jan Vesely 12, Oscar Da Silva 11 (6 REB), Kyle Kuric 11, Nicolas Laprovittola 11 (10 AST).

Virtus: Iffe Lunberg 20, Semi Ojeleye 14, Mam Jaiteh 10.
