First, Zalgiris Kaunas looked to snap a four-game losing streak against FC Bayern Munich, who captured a victory earlier in the week. Even though the guests comfortably led in the third quarter, Keenan Evans hit a go-ahead basket with under 10 seconds remaining, and Bayern weren't able to make the last-second shot to win the game.
Then, LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne hosted Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz in hopes of winning their second game in a row. With Tadas Sedekerskis out with the flu, the guests played with just 9 men on the roster, but the trio of Markus Howard, Chima Moneke, and Matt Costello overpowered the hosts.
After defeating Zalgiris in the previous round, Panathinaikos Athens looked to continue their streak against Virtus Segafredo Bologna. Although the game was tight throughout the majority of the 40 minutes, Panathinaikos ran away with the win during the last minutes.
Just 15 minutes later, a game between two Spanish teams commenced, as FC Barcelona hosted Valencia Basket. The guests were close and had their chances, but Barca remained undefeated at home, capturing their fifth win at Palau Blaugrana.
To finish the day off, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade welcomed ALBA Berlin to the famous Stark Arena, with both clubs looking to get back to the winning road after losing the first game of the double week. Partizan played a dominant second half and delighted local fans with a bounce-back victory.
