After a series of matchups between some of the powerhouses of the tournament, the second day of Round 2 EuroLeague battles arrives.

Olympiacos Piraeus started off the day with a battle against Zalgiris Kaunas. Sasha Vezenkov recorded his personal high of 15 rebounds to overcome the resilient Lithuanian team.

In the next matchup, Scottie Wilbekin faced his former team Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv. However, Nick Calathes stole the show with a near-triple-double to lead Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul to an easy win.

Markus Howard played the game of the season, hitting 8 three-pointers against Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade. Howard not only sent the game to overtime with a buzzer-beating triple, he made two more in the extra period to down Zeljko Obradovic's team.

ALBA Berlin, meanwhile, recorded another upset, this time against EA7 Emporio Armani Milan. After leading the entire game, the German team edged out a win in overtime behind Tamir Blatt's clutch triples.

In the last game of the evening, Valencia Basket fell against LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne in a game filled with controversy. After committing a 24-second violation even though the ball hit the rim, ASVEL regained possession and hit a game-winning free throw at the very last second following Jared Harper's kicking foul during his attempt to win the game.
