Sami Demirtas delivered when RBC Belgrade needed it most: 16 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in 30 minutes, shooting 5-of-13 from the field but a perfect 4-for-4 from the stripe, as the visitors held off Royal Nivelles Basketball 72–70 in a two-point finish in Group A. Demirtas's composure at the line—four made free throws with zero misses—proved the difference in a game that never pulled away for either side. He was efficient where it mattered, even if his overall shooting touch wasn't sharp; the five boards and ball movement showed a willingness to do more than score. For RBC Belgrade, a road win in a tight contest is currency in any league. For Royal Nivelles, a two-point slip at home in a low-scoring affair will sting.
