EuroCup sides BC Kyiv and Khimik Yuzhny both claimed victories in their first matches of the Superliga season.

Kyiv, who went through major squad changes during pre-season losing all of their foreign stars, received a boost before their opener with the addition of experienced Ukrainian center Grygorii Khizhniak.

And they went on to seal a 101-79 win at Kharkiv-Politechnik with newcomers Aaron Lukas and Milan Dozed scoring 22 and 17 points respectively.

Khimik had no problems with Pulsar either, defeating them 91-62 in Yuzhny.

Andriy Korochkin and Aleksandr Subara both scored 17 points for the home side while rookie Goran Cakic claimed 15 points for Pulsar in a losing cause.
