Two teams looking to get back on the winning track meet in Vitoria, with Baskonia (2-2) hosting ALBA (1-3).
Game Notes: Baskonia vs. ALBA

Pablo Laso will be reminding his Baskonia players to compete for 40 minutes after a fourth-quarter collapse led to defeat at ASVEL last week, despite another dominant display from Chima Moneke (16 points and 5.8 rebounds per game). ALBA leads the league in rebounding, in large part thanks to Khalifa Koumadje crashing the boards to the tune of 7.8 rebounds per night, so the hosts will hope that Tadas Sedekerskis (5.3 rebounds per game) can overcome the heel issue that forced him to miss the loss at ASVEL. In the backcourt, ALBA will hope Matteo Spagnolo can stay hot after scoring 16 and 13 points in the last two games.
