Romanian basketball team U-BT Cluj-Napoca has
\nsucceeded an auspicious debut in the Champions League’s group stage. This past
\nTuesday, U-BT Cluj-Napoca grabbed a 66-60 win against Turkish opponents Dar\u00fc\u015f\u015fafaka
\nBasketbol, in a Group G fixture. The Romanians had an unassuming start for the
\ngame, so much so that on minute 15 the scoreboard indicated a 21-14 advantage
\nfor the Turkish team. However, head-coach Mihai Silvasan’s trainees came from
\nbehind and eventually secured a laid-back win. U-BT Cluj Napoca’s American basketball
\nplayers, Elijah Stewart and Patrick Richard, were U-BT Cluj Napoca’s top scorers.
\nStewart succeeded 18 points and 6 recoveries, while
\nRichard succeeded 17 points and 2 recoveries. Another American was the Turkish
\nteam’s best basketball player, Nathan Boothe, with 14 points and 5 recoveries
\non his record sheet. Group G also includes Italian team Happy Casa Brindisi and Israeli squad Hapoel U-net Holon. On October 18, U-BT Cluj-Napoca’s will
\nnext play Italy’s Happy Casa Brindisi, away from home.<\/p>\n

In the domestic championship, in a second-round game,
\non Tuesday CSO Voluntari outclassed Dinamo Bucharest, 84-81, after extra time. Ten
\nseconds from time, CSO Voluntari’s Swedish player Carl Viktor Gadeffors managed
\na successful free throw, failed in his second throw, but Andrei Calenic
\nrecovered the ball and succeeded to level the score. It was only in extra time
\nthat CSO Voluntari managed to have the upper hand, when, two seconds from time,
\nDinamo’s Andrei Mandache wasted the opportunity to score from a three-point
\nthrow. The game against Dinamo was CSO Voluntary’s debut fixture in the
\ndomestic championship, since their first-round game against SCM Timi\u015foara was
\npostponed. In another fixture, CSM CSU Oradea trounced Municipal T\u00e2rgu Jiu, 89 to
\n70. After two regular rounds in the domestic championship, CSM CSU Oradea managed
