Romanian basketball team U-BT Cluj-Napoca has
succeeded an auspicious debut in the Champions League’s group stage. This past
Tuesday, U-BT Cluj-Napoca grabbed a 66-60 win against Turkish opponents Darüşşafaka
Basketbol, in a Group G fixture. The Romanians had an unassuming start for the
game, so much so that on minute 15 the scoreboard indicated a 21-14 advantage
for the Turkish team. However, head-coach Mihai Silvasan’s trainees came from
behind and eventually secured a laid-back win. U-BT Cluj Napoca’s American basketball
players, Elijah Stewart and Patrick Richard, were U-BT Cluj Napoca’s top scorers.
Stewart succeeded 18 points and 6 recoveries, while
Richard succeeded 17 points and 2 recoveries. Another American was the Turkish
team’s best basketball player, Nathan Boothe, with 14 points and 5 recoveries
on his record sheet. Group G also includes Italian team Happy Casa Brindisi and Israeli squad Hapoel U-net Holon. On October 18, U-BT Cluj-Napoca’s will
next play Italy’s Happy Casa Brindisi, away from home.

In the domestic championship, in a second-round game,
on Tuesday CSO Voluntari outclassed Dinamo Bucharest, 84-81, after extra time. Ten
seconds from time, CSO Voluntari’s Swedish player Carl Viktor Gadeffors managed
a successful free throw, failed in his second throw, but Andrei Calenic
recovered the ball and succeeded to level the score. It was only in extra time
that CSO Voluntari managed to have the upper hand, when, two seconds from time,
Dinamo’s Andrei Mandache wasted the opportunity to score from a three-point
throw. The game against Dinamo was CSO Voluntary’s debut fixture in the
domestic championship, since their first-round game against SCM Timişoara was
postponed. In another fixture, CSM CSU Oradea trounced Municipal Târgu Jiu, 89 to
70. After two regular rounds in the domestic championship, CSM CSU Oradea managed
to have four points on their record sheet.
