Two EuroLeague games on Sept. 30 produced a big win for Besiktas and a one-sided result in Athens. In Belgrade, Maccabi Tel-Aviv — nominally the home side — never led as Besiktas controlled the game and finished 109–93. Scottie Wilbekin and Anthony Brown led the visitors with 20 points apiece; Aaron Dotson added 17 and Tyler Morgan 13 for Besiktas.

In Athens, Panathinaikos built a double-digit lead in the first quarter (25–13), extended the advantage through the middle stages and peaked at a 28-point margin before closing 102–79. Silven Francisco was Panathinaikos’s top scorer with 19 points. Both results come from the second round of the EuroLeague regular season and affect the early table after two matchdays.
