Bio je to okršaj dva bivša hrvatska izbornika u kojem je Jasmin Repeša dobio Velimira Perasovića. Velikim dijelom i zato jer je Milano imao Krunu Simona, koji je protiv Efesa za 14 poena potrošio tek sedam lopti (pogodio sedam), a s devet skokova i osam asistencija je bio na pragu triple-double učinka u 28 odigranih minuta. Simon je bio motor Repešine momčadi, koja ove sezone redovito igra utakmice na 100 poena, a u takvima se ljevoruki hrvatski reprezentativac najbolje snalazi...
Prve večeri 5. kola Eurolige na parkete su istrčala još tri hrvatska predstavnika. A dok su Ante Tomić (10 poena, 4-5 iz igre, šest skokova, jedna asistecija za 20 minuta) i Marko Banić (10 poena, 4-5 iz igre, pet skokova za 17 minuta) s Barcelonom, odnosno Uniksom ostvarili domaće pobjede nad Žalgirisom i Crvenom zvezdom (Keith Langford je stavio ključnu tricu 16 sekundi prije kraja, a Banić na kraju potvrdio pobjedu s dva bacanja), Leon Radošević (šest poena, 3-6 iz igre, dva skoka, jedan asist za 17 minuta) je s Bambergom pao kod Darüšafake.
Danas igraju: Galatasaray - Olympiacos (18.00), CSKA Moskva - Real Madrid (18:30), Baskonia - Fenerbahče (21.00).
