Semi-finals
Pau Orthez – Antibes
Red Star – Zaragoza

After a flying start by Orthez (13-8, min. 7), with an infallible McCullough (3/3), the Red Star decided to take refuge in a zone defence to try and slow down the French’s scoring pace, but Freddy Hufnagel’s entry on the pitch made it possible for the French to make another run (32-20). The break came with a clear advantage of fifteen points for Orthez (49-34), thanks in large part to the scoring efficiency of McCullough (19 points in this first part with 80% success). After the break, the Yugoslavs came out ready to equalise the match and, thanks to strong pressure all over the court, managed to cut the gap (49-40). But a new stretch of the French placed the marker in 64-48 in the 27th minute, and from that moment the party entered a phase of clear dominance of the Orthez that, with six minutes left, achieved the maximum difference of the whole encounter (83-58) and could live a relaxed end.
