Date: October 6, 2011

Cibona was plagued by 25 personal fouls down the stretch. American point guard Jordan Farmar (188-86, college: UCLA) fired 19 points and 7 assists for the winners. His fellow American import swingman Devin Smith (196-81, college: Virginia) chipped in 19 points. American guard Brian Chase (178-81, college: Virginia Tech) produced 17 points and 6 assists (made all of his eight free throws) and American-Lebanese swingman Antwain Barbour (196-82, college: Kentucky, agency: Court Side) added 12 points and 7 rebounds respectively for lost side. Five Maccabi T-A and four Cibona players scored in double figures. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games.
