Three-pointers have been a problem all season so far for U-BT Cluj-Napoca - at both ends of the court. But the 7DAYS EuroCup debutant stepped up in that department to get an important win at Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana.
Cluj not only made 11 of 26 three-pointers (42.3%), but the Romanian side also held Cedevita to just 29.7% shooting from long range in an 80-88 victory. Cluj came into the game ranked 18th in three-point shooting on offense at just 29.8%. And Coach Mihai Silvasan’s team was worst in defending the long ball, allowing opponents to convert 42.6% of three-pointers.
Cedevita had not defended the three-point line much better so far this season at 39.2% for 18th in the rankings. But the home side was ranked second in three-point accuracy at 39.3%. Slowing down the Cedevita shooters played a major role in the win.
