He scored 10 points and blocked 2 blocks in 23 minutes. KB Rahoveci (2-3) is placed fifth in the Superliga. It was his team's first victory after three consecutive loses.

He was MVP of the game. Abbey-Wright scored 24 points, had 9 rebounds and dished 3 assists; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his third season in pro basketball. KB Teuta Durres (4-2) is placed fifth in the Superliga. Abbey-Wright's team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical.

N'Kosi scored 19 points in 35 minutes. wiha Panthers Schwenningen (7-0) is placed first in South-West group. So far his team won all seven games in the Regular Season.

It was Hemel Storm's third consecutive loss in a row. But the season is still in its first stage and everything can happen. It's Rai's first year with the team.
