DEAC can celebrate finally their first win this season after five consecutive losses. They used home court advantage to defeat Duna Aszfalt (0-6) 86-76 on Wednesday. DEAC dominated down low during the game scoring 58 of its points in the paint compared to Duna Aszfalt's 34. DEAC looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. The best player for the winners was American forward Dimitrius Underwood (191-1998, college: Charleston, agency: Octagon Europe) who scored 22 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. The other American import forward Zachary Simmons (203-1999, college: N.Texas) chipped in 18 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. DEAC's coach Akos Petho used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. At the other side the best for losing team was Montenegrin center Pavle Djurisic (207-2000, college: Austin Peay, agency: Octagon Europe) who recorded 29 points and 9 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field). DEAC (1-5) left bottom position moving up to eleventh place, which they share with Kormend and NKA Pecs. It was Duna Aszfalt's sixth loss in a row. They still close the standings with six games lost. DEAC is looking forward to face league's second-placed Szombathely on the road in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. Duna Aszfalt will play against Alba (#3) where they are definitely not considered as a favorite in this game either.
Undefeated leader Atomeromu delivered the sixth consecutive victory. This time they crushed 6th ranked Phoenix-MT (3-3) 108-85 in Paks. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Phoenix-MT. It was a good game for American guard Jay Jay Chandler III (193-1998, college: USA) who led his team to a victory with 25 points and 7 rebounds. Szilard Benke contributed with 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists for the winners. American guard Shereef Mitchell (185-2000, college: Ohio) replied with 22 points, 6 assists and 5 steals for Phoenix-MT. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Undefeated Atomeromu (6-0) have an impressive six-game winning streak. They maintain first position with a perfect record of 6 victories in a row, which they share with Szombathely. Newly promoted Phoenix-MT keeps the sixth place with three games lost. They share the position with 4 other teams. Atomeromu will play against Szedeak (#7) in Szeged in the next round where they are favorite. Phoenix-MT will play at home against Szolnok and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
The game in Szekesfehervar supposed to be also quite interesting. 7th ranked Szedeak (3-3) played at the court of eighth ranked Alba (4-2). Alba smashed Szedeak 93-64 on Wednesday. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Szedeak. Mladen Vujic had a double-double by scoring 16 points and 10 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners. The best for the losing side was Garfield Turner with 17 points and 8 rebounds. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Alba moved-up to third place, which they share with Szolnok and Kaposvari. Szedeak at the other side dropped to the sixth position with three games lost. They share it with 4 other teams. Alba will meet bottom-ranked Duna Aszfalt (#14) in the next round which should be another easy win for them. Szedeak will play against the league's leader Atomeromu (#1) and hope to secure a win.
