Cibona took control early against Partizan and held on for a convincing 82-64 win, behind 14 points each from Brent Wright and Davor Kus. Bojan Krstovic scored 22 to keep FMP in the game before a late charge led them past Split 72-81. In Ljubljana, Saso Ozbolt made a pair of free throws in the waning seconds to tie the game and Ender Arslan heated up in the extra period as Olimpija topped Buducnost 91-85.

Cibona moved into first place on points difference after trouncing its Euroleague Group B opponent, Partizan.

Wright – who also had 4 steals – and Kus were Cibona's top scorers with 14 each, while Warren added 13 and Vedran Morovic 10. Kosta Perovic was one of the few bright spots for Partizan with 15 and Predrag Drobnjak was good for 14. In Split, the hosts came up short in the closing minutes as FMP surged to a 72-81 win. FMP scored the last 6 points of the first half to take a 30-37 lead at the break and the lead reached double-figures early in the second half. However with center Otis Hill leading the way, Split outscored FMP 11-1 to start the fourth quarter and took a 64-62 lead.

Krstovic led FMP with 22, Aleksandar Rasic added 16 points and 6 assists, Dusko Savanovic 16 points and 5 steals and Mladen Pantic chipped in 15.
