## Key Points

- Rostyslav Novitsky scored 24 points and became the top scorer of the Dinamo Bucharest vs. Girona match (84:92).
- 24 points is Novitsky's season-high for the Bucharest club; his previous maximum was 17 points against Sibiu.
- For Dinamo, this is their fifth defeat in six FIBA Europe Cup group stage matches and their fourth consecutive loss.
- The next FIBA Europe Cup match is an away game against Szolnoki Olaj on November 18 at 19:00 Kyiv time.

Ukrainian center Rostyslav Novitsky was the star of the FIBA Europe Cup group stage sixth-round match where Dinamo Bucharest hosted Spain's Girona. According to the Basketball Federation of Ukraine, cited by Sport RBC.UA, Novitsky spent 25 minutes on the court and scored 24 points, becoming the game's top scorer. Despite the Ukrainian's individual masterclass, his team lost 84:92 (quarter scores: 17:29, 20:21, 23:15, 24:27).

### Match Flow: Girona Takes Control from the First Quarter

The encounter started poorly for the hosts: the Spanish side engineered a seven-point unanswered run and grabbed a noticeable advantage as early as the first quarter. Afterwards, Dinamo never managed to take the lead — the guests mostly controlled the pace and maintained the score gap until the final buzzer, ultimately securing a 92:84 victory.

### Novitsky's 24 Points: Season High for Dinamo

Despite the team's defeat, Novitsky demonstrated high shooting efficiency: he made all seven two-point attempts, hit his only three-pointer, and scored seven of nine free throws. He also added four rebounds. The 24-point mark became the Ukrainian's best performance this season for the Bucharest club — his previous maximum was 17 points in the Romanian Championship against Sibiu, where Dinamo also fell short (92:100).

### Group Standings and Upcoming Schedule

For Dinamo, the defeat against Girona marked their fifth loss in six FIBA Europe Cup group stage matches and their fourth in a row. Bucharest's sole victory in the tournament came in the second round when they defeated Szolnoki Olaj. The team's next FIBA Europe Cup fixture will be an away game against the same Szolnoki Olaj, scheduled for Wednesday, November 18, starting at 19:00 Kyiv time. Prior to that, on Sunday, November 15, the Bucharest side will play in the Romanian Championship against Vâlcea.

### Context: Ukrainian Basketball Players in European Tournaments

Novitsky's performance fits into the broader context of Ukrainian basketball players' season in international competitions. It was previously reported that Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk received 20 minutes of playing time in an NBA game and became one of the leaders in the matchup against Orlando. Thus, Ukrainian players continue to show productive stats across various levels — from the NBA to the FIBA Europe Cup.
