Bosna win thriller; Reggiana dominate Oradea
Edin Atic was the hero in Sarajevo as he led KK Bosna BH Telecom to a thrilling 85-82 win over Cedevita Junior in Group L. Atic buried a three-pointer with 34 seconds left to give Bosna an 83-82 lead, and after getting a stop, the forward iced the game from the foul line.
The Bosnian side remains unblemished after two games, as Atic led the way again with 17 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals. Carence Daniels had a game-high 20 points for Cedevita.
Pallacanestro Reggiana didn't need any last-second heroics, as they cruised to an eventual 90-59 victory over CSM CSU Raiffeisen Oradea to also stay undefeated. A 49-22 second half proved the difference as Troy Caupain had 13 points to lead Reggiana, who hit 15 triples in the win.
Murcia and Rostock earn road wins to stay perfect
UCAM Murcia bulldozed their way to 2-0 in Group K with a 93-77 win away to Energa Trefl Sopot. The Spaniards started strong - taking a deserved 30-18 lead on the back of solid offensive execution, but found Sopot challenging to break down as the game progressed, only holding a 57-55 advantage going into what promised to be an exciting final 10 minutes.
But Murcia put that excitement to bed, as they blitzed their way to victory in the fourth, led by 26 points on 6-for-9 three-point shooting from Michael Forrest. Meanwhile, Kasper Suurorg led Sopot with 20 points and 5 rebounds.
Rostock Seawolves also improved to 2-0 in the group, with a deserved 84-77 victory on the road to KC Szombathely. TJ Crockett Jr. hit five triples on his way to 21 points for the Seawolves. Zoltan Perl and Benedek Varadi both hit 15 for Szombathely, who drop to 0-2.
PAOK battle to win over Sporting; Bilbao ruthless against Prievidza
PAOK BC were made to work hard for their 70-62 away win against a spirited Sporting CP outfit who stayed on their tail until the final buzzer, but last season's runners-up had enough in the tank to seal their second win in Group M.
New signing Breein Tyree shot 53 percent from the floor to lead PAOK with 17 points with Cleveland Melvin adding 14 for the winners. Brandon Johns led Sporting with 14 points, but was hampered by only shooting 33 percent from the field.
Holders Surne Bilbao Basket continued their terrifying run of form, as they beat BC Prievidza 83-46 to stay unbeaten in Group M. Tryggvi Hlinason led a balanced scoring attack with 13 points for Bilbao, while Anderson Tolbert and Joe Toussaint had 11 each for Prievidza.
Petkimspor and Peristeri flex their muscles in Group N
Aliaga Petkimspor remain unbeaten in Group N after two games, as they started hot and finished hotter in their 98-75 home victory over Casademont Zaragoza.
The hosts raced clear after the first quarter to take an 11-point lead going into the second, but Zaragoza regrouped as the game wore on and even led after three periods. Then a 41-17 fourth-quarter showpiece handed Petkimspor a convincing win.
Yannick Franke led the winners with 24 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Devin Robinson had 14 for Zaragoza.
Peristeri Betsson also went to 2-0 after beating Dinamo BDS Sassari 98-84. A dominant first half from the Greeks proved too much for their Italian counterparts as Peristeri led 54-32 at the break. Sassari showed life in the third and fourth quarters, and reduced the gap to nine points, but it was too late.
Jake Van Tubbergen led the way with 27 points and 12 rebounds for the victors, shooting 11-for-14 from the floor.
