Alba Berlin notched its second straight victory in the Eurocup Group D by holding off CAI Zaragoza 71-68 at home. David Logan showed the way for the winners with 18 points while Reggie Redding and Jonas Wohlfarth-Bottermann each scored 15 points and Levon Kendall added six points and 10 rebounds. Berlin starting center Leon Radosevic left the court limping and played only seven minutes. Zaragoza missed their final seven shots over the last 4:21 minutes of the game and tallied just one point in that stretch in dropping to 1-1 in the group. Giorgi Shermadini scored 14 points – 12 of them coming in the second half – while Pedro Llompart added 11 points and Joseph Jones hit for 10 points in a losing effort.

Damjan Rudez started the game with a triple for the guests but Radosevic collected four points as Berlin jumped ahead 6-5. Michael Roll knocked down a three-ball in an 0-6 Zaragoza run and Jones’ long ball had the advantage up to 8-14. Logan and Llompart swapped treys and the guests led 15-21 after the first quarter. Llompart again hit from long range to push the cushion to seven points to start the second period and Roll’s basket left Zaragoza up 21-28. Wohlfarth-Bottermann sparked a Berlin comeback to tie the game at 36-36. Jonathan Tabu’s free throw gave Zaragoza the lead 36-37 going into the break. The guests scored the first five points of the second half, with Tabu’s long ball making it 36-42. Redding and Logan combined for seven points in pushing Berlin ahead 43-42 and a Redding triple made it 46-44. Berlin was up 50-49 when Jon Stefansson and Pere Tomas converted back-to-back three-point plays for a 50-55 cushion. And Zaragoza was up 55-57 after 30 minutes. Shermandini scored the guests’ first six points of the fourth quarter, twice pushing the lead to four points – the second time 59-63. A Logan three-ball had the hosts back in front 64-63. Llompart’s two foul shots with 4:21 left gave the guests a 64-67 lead. But Zaragoza would not score another basket the rest of the way, missing its next seven attempts. In the meantime, Vojdan Stojanovski sandwiched baskets around a Logan trey as Berlin was ahead 71-67. Redding missed two free throws that could have iced the game with nine seconds left and then Llompart split two from the line four seconds later.
