Anadolu Eps - Monaco 72:87

Both teams came to the meeting with nothing to play for, after the Turks lost a chance to advance to the playoffs while the French secured fourth place.

The outgoing European champion ended the season with a nice home victory, which shouldn't indicate too much about Monaco ahead of their quarter-final series against Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Tibor Place excelled in the winning ranks with 21 points and 12 rebounds, Vasilija Micic (6 rebounds and 6 assists) and Elijah Bryant scored 12 each.

Yoan Macondo stood out on the other side, with 16 and 8 rebounds.

Bayern Munich - Zalgiris 83:80

The Lithuanians led for almost the entire game, but were unable to open a significant gap and in the last minute they already started to feel how the ticket to the playoffs was slipping from their hands, when Andreas Obst went on a private 0:8 run for Bayern and reduced the difference from nine points to only one.

However, Edgars Olnovas withstood pressure from the line, the Bavarians missed the last attack and Zalgiris celebrated a fourth straight win to send them into the quarter-finals, where they hope to surprise their former coach Saronas Jasikvicius to qualify for the home Final Four.

Following this result, the one who was eliminated was Basconia, who at the end of the first round was still leading the table.

Partizan Belgrade - Panathinaikos 81:83

Panathinaikos led 20:38 in the second quarter, and eight minutes to the end was ahead 60:71, but the Serbs went on a 0:12 run that completed the turnaround, and James Nunley scored the three-pointer with half a minute to go that restored the advantage to Partizan and also determined the final result.

Dante Exum starred with 18 points, Kevin Panter added 17 and Madar, who started with five and played only 4:50 minutes, finished with 2 points.
