27/02/2015 18:45 – Anadolu Efes Istanbul v Laboral Kutxa Vitoria
With these two teams clashing on the first day of the Top 16, and Efes grabbing a 67-72 win on the road, they hold the upper hand in the psychological stakes. That may not mean a lot for Euroleague basketball fans but you can bet that Laboral will have it in the back of their mind. There is also the fact that they will have the points difference in the back of their mind so while they will be going all out to grab victory in this game, if they are ahead, they will be looking to overturn that deficit and grab the advantage. The way that the Top 16 is panning out, this is the sort of thing that could make a difference and you can get Laboral, and Anadolu, are thinking about what they need to knock rivals out of their way on the path to continued success in the tournament.
