Two matches, two victories - Turkish Bahceşehir, led by Dejan Radonjić and Marko Simonović, opened the new season in the Eurocup very well.

The score seesaw was seen only at the beginning of the match, and everything else happened in favor of Radonjić's team, which at one point had a record 27 points advantage - 81:54.
The Montenegrin representative Marko Simonović was the most effective in Bahcešehir with 14 points (5/7 from the field), five rebounds, two steals and one turnover.
