Four Unicaja Malaga players scored in double figures. Unicaja Malaga's coach felt very confident that he used entire bench saving starting five for next games. Guard Nikola Ivanovic (190-94, agency: BeoBasket) produced 20 points and 4 assists (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line) and Canadian-Nigerian forward Melvin Ejim (201-91, college: Iowa St., agency: BeoBasket) added 12 points and 6 rebounds respectively for the hosts. Unicaja Malaga keeps a position of league leader, which they share with 3 other teams. Loser Buducnost keeps the third place with three games lost. Unicaja Malaga will face Brescia (#6) on the road in the next round where they are favorite. Buducnost will play against ratiopharm Ulm and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
