Pred Božić se trebalo kompletirati polovica osnovnog dijela Eurolige, no, zbog odgode utakmice Žalgirisa i Milana 17. kolo ipak nije kompletirano. Međutim, u petak je odigrano svih pet zakazanih okršaja, čak i madridski klasik kojem je prijetila odgoda, no, Real je bez sedmorice prvotimaca (Causeur, Randolph, Heurtel, Abalde, Hanga, Poirier i Yabusele) ne samo nastupio, već i s trojicom juniora (Vukčević, Klavžar i Garuba) srušio CSKA.
Do pobjede je u Münchenu došla Baskonia, Neven Spahija slavio je u gostima kod Andree Trinchierija, dok je Maccabi Ante Žižića poražen u Sankt Peterburgu...
