Last Saturday, on the eve of their visit to Zaporizhia for the group stage match of the Champions League with the champion of Ukraine "Prometey", our team’s opponent, "Cluj-Napoca", obtained the away victory in the Romanian championship over "Oradea" - 81:79. This success was the 16th one for Cluj in the championship, and the team, like Prometey, does not suffer defeats on the domestic arena. The most productive player in the lineup of the leader of the Romanian championship was the Serbian bigman Stefan Bircevic - 16 points. American point guard Brandon Brown, in addition to 9 points, has 9 rebounds and 8 assists.
