Anwil Włocławek made an emphatic entrance into the FIBA Europe Cup by demolishing BC Dnipro 114-71 in their first group stage match. The Polish side, determined to improve on last year’s disappointing group stage exit, wasted no time asserting their dominance, building a 22-point lead by halftime. Their relentless performance, with every quarter favoring Anwil, resulted in a resounding +43 victory margin.
Key Players Shine
Leading the charge for Anwil was Justin Turner, who contributed 22 points, two rebounds, and four assists. Dnipro’s Olexandr Mishula tried to keep his team in the game, scoring 19 points, but his efforts were not enough to slow down the high-flying Polish squad. Anwil’s victory sets a promising tone for the team, which previously won the entire FIBA Europe Cup two seasons ago.
Next Challenge: Banco di Sardegna Sassari
Looking ahead, Anwil will face a tougher test next week against Italy’s Banco di Sardegna Sassari. Meanwhile, fellow Polish side Spójnia Stargard, which narrowly lost 77-75 to Romanian club CSM Oradea, will host Estonia’s BC Parnu Sadam as they seek to bounce back from their opening defeat.
