The championship series started on Thursday as the same format of two games will be used. Two of the more ambitious teams in Europe faced off as both hope that this is a steppingstone to compete for EuroLeague in the future. Kennedy Burke and top seed Cukurova were trying to put the series out of reach even before their home game and took a big early lead. 14 seed Athinaikos was able to trim the deficit to 85-80 in the end, but will have a tough time next Thursday.
