Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana took a big step toward securing a postseason berth in the BTK EuroCup with a 98-79 whitewash of Aris Midea Thessaloniki, which lifted the Slovenian side to an 8-5 record in Group B of the competition.
The hosts thrived from a fast-paced offense which generated a barrage of assists and high percentages, as Cedevita made 26 of 42 shots from inside and 5 of 10 from long range, while forcing 17 turnovers from Aris at the other end.
Aris held its own early on as the visitors sank their first 5 three-pointers but missed 8 of their next 9, allowing Cedevita to pull away by halftime and stay in cruise control in the second half.

Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana-7-bet Lietkabelis Panevezys | Round 4 Highlights | 2024-25 BKT EuroCup p
Among a pack of players who made an impact, Brynton Lemar stood out with a game high 18 points as he shot 5 of 8 from the floor and 6 of 7 from the foul line.
“They are a pretty good team but we fought hard and played together,” Lemar said in his postgame comments. “We knew how important this game was so we just wanted to come out and get the win,” he added.
The home team’s head coach Zvezdan Mitrovic praised his men for a smooth effort.
“The players showed great energy for the full 40 minutes at both ends of the court. It’s a very important win for our bid to reach the playoffs as we controlled the game throughout, except for early in the second half, said Mitrovic. “We were able to pull away by making some shots from deep, while long-range shooting kept Aris in the game early on.
“This was one of our more notable performances of the season and I am really happy for the players. We now face some tough road games and hopefully the physios can keep the team in shape for the upcoming challenges.”
Aris head coach Ioannis Kastritis pointed out that his team was undone by a cartload of fouls committed, which made it difficult for the visitors to play stronger defense.
“After the first half, we were in foul trouble so we couldn’t be more aggressive,” he said. “Cedevita was very physical and congratulations to them for the victory. We tried to do a better job but Cedevita is a really good team and very well coached.”
In Round 15, Cedevita visits Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem while Aris, which slipped to 3-11 in what has so far been a poor season for the Greek outfit, is at home to Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse.
