Both series concluded on Wednesday as teams tried to advance to the finals once the scores from both games were combined. 5 seed Lattes Montpellier had lost their home game, but flipped that deficit early on the road. Top seed Cukurova took the lead back by halftime and then dominated the second half to win 86-60 for a comfortable final margin of 156-128. Villeneuve-d’Ascq had a lot of ground to make up at home against Alexis Prince and 14 seed Athinaikos. The 10 seed and defending champions did not make much progress until the fourth quarter, but a 78-70 win still left them short 139-134 on aggregate.
