At the start of the second, Ribas hit a pair of three-pointers, and had a pair of steals, fueling another run that got Valencia to 33-15. Chamil Kanas hit from long range, before Dragicevic and Cel added baskets from close for 37-22, but Triguero answered with a jumper and a dunk, before Van Rossom finished the half with basket just before the buzzer and 43-24. The hosts kept the rhythm and the pace after the break. Sato and Eyenga traded triples, before Eyenga added a dunk to the tally, helping to keep the visitors within 51-33.

Head Coaches

PERASOVIC, VELIMIR
Valencia Basket Club
"We have won against a team that had put the likes of Olympiacos or Unics on the ropes. Our defense deserves praise, and our concentration with which we entered to the game. I am sure that the game in Poland is going to be much more difficult."
UVALIN, MIHAILO
Stelmet Zielona Gora
"They were better than us in everything. They have demonstrated that they are a high European class team. Valencia has been one of the best rivals against whom we have played this season, including the first phase of the Euroleague."

Players

VAN ROSSOM, SAM
Valencia Basket Club
"We have completed the mission that we had set in front of ourselves. Iit has been a great victory for us, in addition to a good advantage that is very important in the Last 32. The close games are going to be very important, we have to try to add some victories on the road."
CEL, AARON
Stelmet Zielona Gora
"Simply we are not at their level. We came here to show that we can go face to face with this kind of team, but definitively we cannot. We can't lie to ourselves, today Valencia has been better team."
