Cedevita Olimpija has suffered second defeat of the European season in the Round 6 of the BKT EuroCup. Hapoel Jerusalem squad has been better than the Dragons with the final score of 83:94.

After a good start and a tied first quarter, the visiting side from Israel has pulled away in the second quarter and created themselves a 20-point advantage in the third quarter. Despite the fact, that the Ljubljana side has been fighting all until the end, the margin did not melt and Stožice Arena has witnessed the first home defeat by Cedevita Olimpija this season in the BKT EuroCup.
