Dutch champions EiffelTowers Den Bosch scored their win of the season by topping former ULEB Cup champion Hapoel Migdal Jerusalem 101-94. Travis Young scored 29 points and Roye Berkowitz came off the bench for 12 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists to lead EiffelTowers to victory in the team's home opener. The result marked the second time in as many seasons that EiffelTowers beat a top team in the home-opener after defeating Real Madrid in overtime last season. Den Bosch improved to 1-1 this season and hosts Zadar next week. Meanwhile Hapoel dropped to 1-1 and hosts Unics Kazan next week. Kees Akerboom scored 18 points and Darrell Tucker added 17 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. Guy Pnini posted a career-high 23 points for Hapoel, while Jamie Arnold had 22 points and 8 rebounds and Timmy Bowers scored 14.

Jerusalem jumped out to an early lead, with Marcus Slaughter scoring first and then teaming with Pnini as the visitors went ahead 5-10. Young stepped up for the home team, which took a narrow lead midway through the opening period. Form that point the teams traded baskets until the 10-minute mark, when the score sat at 25-25. A pair of Sharon Shason triples got Hapoel going at the start of the second period and a Yehu Orland triple made it 36-44, but EiffelTowers got two baskets from Tucker and a pair of triples from Berkowitz to close the half on a 15-2 tear to hold a 51-46 lead at halftime. Almost single-handedly, Arnold steeped up to keep Jerusalem in the picture after the break, scoring all of the visiting teams points to keep his side within 59-57 midway through the period. Akerboom and later Tucker twice put EiffelTowers up 6, but once Pnini and later Drod Hagag answered with 5 straight points to keep Hapoel close. Pnini made a pair of free throws at the end of the period to tie it at 74-74. Bowers put Hapoel on top with the first points of the fourth quarter and the visitors nursed that lead for several minutes. But EiffelTowers found a way to stop Bowers, who became Jerusalem's only option at that point, and the hosts converted on the other end to earn the win.
