Road warrior Fenerbahce powered the boards in win at Zalgiris

[Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/ulk/) dominated the glass during [its 65-72 win at Zalgiris Kaunas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/fenerbahce-beats-zalgiris-65-72-to-stay-unbeaten-on-the-road/) in Round 10 as the Turkish side became the first team to win at Zalgirio Arena this season.

On its way to a fifth consecutive victory, the guests outrebounded Fenerbahce 33-45, pulling down as many as 14 offensive boards. Those 45 rebounds tied its season high, which was set in [a 73-77 road victory against LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/fenerbahce-overcomes-de-colo-asvel-for-third-straight-win/) in Round 8.

During its current winning streak, Fenerbahce is averaging 38.8 rebounds per night, pulling down 13.4 offensive rebounds. Its opponents combined for an average of 31.8 boards and just 9.6 offensive rebounds.

[Nigel Hayes-Davis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nigel-hayes-davis/008962/) finished the game with 18 points and 11 rebounds for its third EuroLeague career double-double. He previously had double-doubles with Fenerbahce against Real Madrid last March and against ALBA Berlin in February 2023.

"We made it difficult for ourselves. We did a fantastic, fantastic job in the second quarter," Hayes-Davis said after the game. "We knew they would come out and fight, and we did not respond well at all and put ourselves in a dogfight. But we showed great character amongst ourselves and were able to come out with a win in a very tough arena."

Hayes-Davis gets double-double at Zalgirio Arena

Fenerbahce drew 28 fouls and hit 25-of-29 free throws. Those 25 free throws made are the most by the club in a non-overtime game since hitting as many, in 32 attempts, against Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz on April 20, 2018. Fenerbahce did not shoot the ball well (39.4% 2FG, 28.0% 3FG) and finished the game with a season-low 9 assists, but forced Zalgiris to even poorer percentages (37.2% 2FG, 25.0% 3FG); its hustle and rebounding power did the rest.

Fenerbahce is the only EuroLeague team not to lose on the road so far this season, but Hayes-Davis didn't want to focus too much on that.

"It's the EuroLeague, anything can happen," he said. "So the mindset, as I've been saying in the past couple of weeks, is to try to improve. First of all, try to get better and then try to win while we are doing it."

Game News

Nigel Hayes-Davis had a telling contribution, grabbing a season-high 11 rebounds

Zalgiris Kaunas v Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (2024-11-15T18:00:00.000Z)

Fenerbahce Beko registered its fifth consecutive win in the EuroLeague by edging Zalgiris Kaunas 65-72 on the road in Round 10 on Friday. 


Fenerbahce beats Zalgiris, 65-72, to stay unbeaten on the road

Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul registered its fifth consecutive win in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague by edging Zalgiris Kaunas 65-72 on the road in Round 10 on Friday. Saras Jasikevicius's squad improved to 8-2 in the standings and kept up their unbeaten road record to start the season, while Andrea Trinchieri's men dropped to 6-4 and are now on a three-game losing streak. 

Nigel Hayes-Davis led the winners with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Marko Guduric added 16 points while Sertac Sanli and Arturs Zagars each had 10 for Fenerbahce. Lonnie Walker, on his home debut, added 19 points for Zalgiris. Sylvain Francisco chipped in with 13 for the hosts.

Game Videos

Zagars and Hayes-Davis got Fenerbahce going, then Walker followed a three-point play with a step-back triple for a 6-4 Zalgiris lead. Ignas Brazdeikis took over with a driving layup that Hayes-Davis matched with a jumper. Bonzie Colson dunked, but Walker struck once again from beyond the arc and Brazdeikis's three-point play boosted the hosts' lead to 14-8. Hayes-Davis drained a triple, Lukas Lekavicius hit a close jumper and Deividas Sirvydis added a coast-to-coast layup for a 18-12 score. Sanli stepped up for Fenerbahce and Guduric erased Sirvydis's triple with a three-point play that kept the guests within 21-17 after 10 minutes.

 

Sanli buried a three-pointer early in the second quarter. Walker sank a floater in the lane that Guduric bettered with a triple. He got help from Sanli to put Fenerbahce ahead, 23-25. Dyshawn Pierre scored in the low post, Zagars added a three-pointer and Tarik Biberovic's play made Zalgiris call a timeout, 23-32. Zagars took over with a wild acrobatic layup that capped a 0-14 Fenerbahce run. Bryant Dunston stepped up with an alley-oop layup, then Guduric, Pierre and Colson boosted the guests' lead to 26-43 at halftime.

Dunston took over with an off-balanced three-point play right after the break, then Walker struck from downtown to make Fenerbahce call a timeout at 32-43. Arnas Butkevicius and Francisco each hit free throws to cap a 9-0 Zalgiris run. Colson rescued Fenerbahce with a fast-break layup and Hayes-Davis responded to Mike Mitchell's driving basket with a corner triple. Francisco followed a five-meter jumper with a bomb from downtown that gave Zalgiris fans hope at 42-48. Guduric kept pacing Fenerbahce but didn't find much help from his teammates. Meanwhile, Walker and Edgaras Ulanovas brought the hosts even closer, 47-52, after 30 minutes.

Sanli banked in a turnaround jumper early in the fourth quarter. Dovydas Giedraitis solved a broken offensive set with a layup that Hayes-Davis improved with a three-pointer for a 48-57 Fenerbahce lead. Mitchell scored in the paint, but Guduric answered from beyond the arc. Francisco then kept Zalgiris within 53-60 with 6 minutes left. Mitchell and Zagars traded layups before Pierre gave Fenerbahce fresh air at 55-64. Francisco scored in penetration, Nicolo Melli answered with a tip-in and Walker's three-point play brought the hosts as close as 60-66. Mitchell ignited the crowd with a three-point play, which was followed by Hayes-Davis swishing a turnaround jumper, but Francisco had a three-point play, 65-68, with 1:06 left. Hayes-Davis missed, but so did Francisco from downtown with 6.0 seconds left. Zagars sealed the outcome from the foul line.

The Lithuanian side has now lost three games in a row

Zalgiris Kaunas (6-3) and Fenerbahce Beko (7-2) face off in Round 10's Rivalry Series game, but which team do the Euroleague.net experts – Geoff Gillingham, Javier Gancedo, Igor Petrinovic and Frankie Sachs – think will come out on top?

Rivalry Series: Predicting the winner of Zalgiris vs. Fenerbahce

[Zalgiris Kaunas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/zalgiris-kaunas/zal/) (6-3) and [Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/ulk/) (7-2) face off at Zalgirio Arena this Friday night in Round 10's Rivalry Series game, but which team do the [Euroleague.net](http://Euroleague.net) experts think will come out on top?

[Geoff Gillingham](https://x.com/GeoffGillingham), [Javier Gancedo](https://x.com/ganchetto), [Igor Petrinovic](https://x.com/IgorPetrinovic) and [Frankie Sachs](https://x.com/MrEuroleague) have all predicted their winner in this Rivalry Series matchup, but you can **submit your vote via the poll at the bottom of the page.**

**Geoff:** Something has to give at Zalgirio Arena on Friday night. Heading into this Rivalry Series clash, Zalgiris is a perfect 4-0 on its home floor while Fenerbahce has gone 100% on its travels, winning all three of its road games. The Zalgiris crowd is up there among the best fan bases in the EuroLeague, spurring on their team at every opportunity, and the noise they generate makes life incredibly tough for road teams. Admittedly, Zalgiris has lost its last two games – on the road at FC Bayern Munich and Paris Basketball – and Fenerbahce has won four straight, but I have a hunch that Saras Jasikevicius’s homecoming will end up being spoiled by Andrea Trinchieri’s men. Watch out for a big game from Lonnie Walker, too.

Geoff’s prediction: **Lonnie Walker to score 20+ points, Zalgiris to win by 7.**

**Javier:** Zalgiris has registered consecutive road losses but is back at Zalgirio Arena, where it is still undefeated. Its fans know when to push on the team and they know they can make a difference In this game. Sylvain Francisco should bounce back in Round 10 and Lonnie Walker is set to keep adjusting and keep contributing more. While Zalgiris has improved its backcourt, Fenerbahce is facing severe injury issues with Wade Baldwin, Devon Hall and Scottie Wilbekin all sidelined. It is time for Arturs Zagars to step up, and it won't be a surprise to see Marko Guduric playing point guard occasionally. In general, Zalgiris should always be the favorite at home. Always.

**Javier's prediction:** Zalgiris by less than 5 points.

**Igor:** Double rounds are always challenging, especially for teams playing two games in 48 hours. For Zalgiris,  it will be even less than that, while Fenerbahce will have had an extra day to prepare. That, in my opinion, will play a bigger role than the fact that Zalgiris will have the support of its sold-out arena. Zalgiris has the league's best defense, which allows 75.1 points per game, but Fenerbahce has been winning ugly, and in the words of coach Sarunas Jasikevicius, that is the only way Fenerbahce can currently win. Saras also returns to his hometown, where Zalgiris has beaten Fener in each of their last four games, each time by more than 10 points – and that includes three wins by 20 points or more. I think that trend will stop and Jasikevicius's troops will come out on top.

Igor's prediction: **Fenerbahce to win by 6 points.**

**Frankie:** Well, Fenerbahce has been hot with four straight wins and Zalgiris has hit its skid with back-to-back losses. But, Fenerbahce has injury problems with Scottie Wilbekin and then Wade Baldwin and then Devon Hall going down, while Zalgiris has strengthened its backcourt with the addition of Lonnie Walker. Zalgiris is undefeated (4-0) at home. Fenerbahce is undefeated (3-0) on the road. So what does that tell you? That one can make a case for any result. The case I will make is that Fenerbahce has a deeper team that will see it to a narrow victory at Zalgirio Arena. Also, thanks for reading this far!

Frankie's prediction: **Fenerbahce wins by between 4 and 10 points.**

Olimpia Milano has confirmed that center Josh Nebo will be reevaluated in three to four weeks after suffering a tendon injury in his right arm.

Josh Nebo to be reevaluated in 3-4 weeks

[EA7 Emporio Armani Milan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/ea7-emporio-armani-milan/mil/) has confirmed that [Josh Nebo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/josh-nebo/011199/) is suffering with a tendon injury in the upper part of his right arm.

The 27-year-old is going to undergo rehab on the injury and will then be reevaluated in three to four weeks.

“Pallacanestro Olimpia Milano announces that Josh Nebo, as scheduled, underwent further tests that confirmed the presence of a tendon injury in his right upper arm,” read Milan’s statement. “Rehabilitation treatment will continue for a period of three to four weeks, after which the actual time of return to activity will be determined.”

<center>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="it" dir="ltr">Aggiornamento su Josh Nebo<br><br>🇮🇹 La Pallacanestro Olimpia Milano comunica che Josh Nebo, come da programma, è stato sottoposto ad ulteriori accertamenti che hanno confermato la presenza di una lesione tendinea all&#39;arto superiore destro. Il trattamento riabilitativo proseguirà per… <a href="https://t.co/I8x971cnJD">pic.twitter.com/I8x971cnJD</a></p>&mdash; Olimpia Milano (@OlimpiaMI1936) <a href="https://twitter.com/OlimpiaMI1936/status/1857366562941923476?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 15, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Nebo, in his first season with Milan, has had bad luck with injuries through the first part of the season. He has been limited to just three Turkish Airlines EuroLeague appearances, which came in Rounds 1, 6 and 7. 

A groin injury saw him miss Rounds 2 through 5, and this tendon injury has already caused him to miss Rounds 8 and 9. With the games coming thick and fast, Milan will have to make do without Nebo for a while yet.

## Friday, November 15

### Zalgiris Kaunas vs. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (19:00 CET)

**Andrea Trinchieri, Zalgiris Kaunas head coach**

"We have very short time to find the energies and the way to play this game. The only thing that we want is to do better the things that we didn't do good enough in Paris. I believe that our defense made a lot of unnecessary mistakes, and on offense we were not disciplined enough. It's a very good opportunity to bounce back because we play against a big team, 45 hours after a tough loss. We have to go onto the court and play \[at\] the Zalgirio Arena the best possible game. The only God we have in this moment is time. I have the biggest respect for Saras. I've met him many times, he's one of the best in not only the tactics, in everything he does. He really takes the game to a different level, but I don't have much time to prepare for that."

**Sarunas Jasikevicius, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul head coach**

"Zalgiris is one of the most physical teams in the EuroLeague. We need to be ready for a very physical battle. We really need to understand the kind of intensity to win the game in Kaunas. Very different structure with the two classical centers and them trying to go to switch all defense and play differently. Obviously, the guard play that Zalgiris relies on a lot."

**Sertac Sanli, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul center**

"We've had a great run in the EuroLeague and started the double-week well. Now, we're heading into a very tough away game. Zalgiris Kaunas is a very strong team. They've recently strengthened their roster by adding a scorer like Lonnie Walker. They play solid defense and are particularly strong offensively in front of their home crowd. We need to maintain the same level of defense for all 40 minutes and make the right decisions on offense as well."

### Virtus Segafredo Bologna vs. Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (20:30 CET)

**Coach Banchi, Virtus Segafredo Bologna head coach**

"The arrival of the defending champions Panathinaikos imposes an additional effort, to bring our performance to the level of a team already capable of expressing its full potential. It will be our task to dictate the pace of the game, starting with a solid and careful defense, which will give impetus to a high-level game. A decisive aspect will also be how much we will be able to express in terms of quality and continuity, deserving the support of our crowd, which will play a decisive role in pushing our team to achieve this feat."

**Achille Polonara, Virtus Segafredo Bologna forward**

"Panathinaikos can count on one of the deepest rosters in the EuroLeague and on very talented players. We will have to try to limit their offense, they are a team that scores a lot and for that we will have to do a great job on defense and play like we did against Maccabi: aggressive, moving the ball well on offense, pushed by our crowd."

**Ergin Ataman, Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens head coach**

"It's a good team, Bologna. Especially when you play on the road, they have a very hot atmosphere \[there\]. They play with more confidence at home. We know that they won against Maccabi in their last game in Bologna. They have dangerous players like Clyburn, Cordinier, Zizic, so they are a very dangerous team. We must play road basketball. After the game, we didn't have a practice, so I don't know \[if Sloukas is able to play\], but we will see tonight in the practice. If he is good, he will contribute tomorrow, but of course he needs time to recover."

**Juancho Hernangomez, Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens forward**

"It's going to be a tough game. Every team when they play at home is really, really tough. Last year we won \[there\] because Kendrick \[Nunn\] made the last shot, so we know it's going to be really, really hard. They've got really good players and a really good coach. It's going to be a battle. \[Toko Shengelia\] is one of the top players, he's been playing here for a lot of years. I respect him a lot, I like him a lot, I grew up watching him, I'm cool with him. Let's see. It's a team effort, it's a team matchup, too."

### Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade vs. EA7 Emporio Armani Milan (20:30 CET)

**Zeljko Obradovic, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade head coach** 

"Our practice between the two games was solely focused on reviewing some things we did last night and preparing for our next opponent. A major issue in our game is our lack of recognition when it’s the right moment to commit a foul, especially in situations when we're not in the bonus. Another aspect we tried to adjust, which gave us trouble in the last five minutes of the second quarter, was switching defense against Barcelona. As for Milan, they have some issues of their own. They play unconventionally, often with three power forwards and two point guards. Interestingly, this is now the second time we will face the team that has had an extra rest day in a double round week, which is not a small detail. I want to thank our fans, who kept cheering for the team despite a significant deficit. I also talked to the players about how crucial it is to understand the importance of our fans’ support and that we must always give our absolute best at every moment."

**Sterling Brown, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade guard**

"I expect us to win this game. There are still some things we need to work on and overall, we just have to play better. I’m looking forward to a great game with our fans behind us."

**Ettore Messina, EA7 Emporio Armani Milan head coach**

"As always, it is a huge honor for me to coach against a team led by Coach Obradovic. We know well how difficult the game will be in a very hot environment and a fan base who will be very supportive of its team. As Olimpia, we are close to the family of the fan that lost his life during the Barcelona game in Belgrade last night."

### FC Barcelona vs. Paris Basketball (20:30 CET)

**Justin Anderson, FC Barcelona forward**

"It's going to be a tough battle. I think this team is playing really well together, they've just come off a championship last season. They're a very entertaining team to watch, they play very fast, and I think it's going to be a good challenge for us. I think we're ready for it. I think they embrace people maybe feeling that they've come from the EuroCup to the EuroLeague, and maybe they had some chip on their shoulder. I respect them, I respect Coach Splitter. I actually played with him in Philadelphia for a little bit. But I think they are a well-coached team, a lot of pace, a lot of space. Very similar to an NBA-style offense. And they play confident, they play free. So for us, it's even more of a reason for us to focus more, do the details, and this team is very mature, this team is a veteran team. We know what we need to do. The biggest thing is to protect our home. Palau is going to be loud and we know that we have the sixth man behind us, so we're excited."

## Thursday, November 14

### Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv vs. Olympiacos Piraeus (19:00 CET)

**Oded Kattash, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv head coach**

"Olympiacos is a very different opponent, both offensively and defensively. They have a lot of size and have a lot of flow in their game. They have guards that defend well. We will try to make adjustments."

**Rokas Jokubaitis, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv guard**

"A double week, both games against Greek teams. We know that they are among the best in Europe. We expect, like always, a big fight, a tough game. They are a very good defensive team with a lot of talent on offense and defense. So we need to prepare for that and go to fight, like in every game. This season is maybe a little bit more tough, but it's not an excuse and we're playing every game to win the games and make our fans happy."

**Wenyen Gabriel, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv center**

"It's definitely another tough team. Every night is a tough night in the EuroLeague. We were definitely in that game \[against Panathinaikos\], we had a lead, but that's something we can learn from going on forward, and carry over some of the good things from last game and correct some of our mistakes. \[Panathinaikos and Olympiacos\] guard the pick and roll differently, so that's something we want to try to take advantage of in terms of their drop defense, or if they turn over to switching defense. That's something we didn't see much of last game, so might be a different game offensively. Also they have more bigs on this team, so they play a little different. They play a lot of off-ball actions as well, a lot of ball movement, less pick and roll game, so it's going to be a different game."

**Georgios Bartzokas, Olympiacos Piraeus head coach**

"There are no easy games in Euroleague. And our responsibility as coaches is to convince our players that there are not going to be easy nights. Unfortunately, sometimes because of the back to back games, the body cannot follow the mind… It is going to be a tough game against Maccabi. They have a special style on offense. Panathinaikos faced yesterday many difficulties against them, till they make it. Whoever underestimate Maccabi will get it to trouble. We are aware that it will be a difficult game and that we need to play way better than we did against ASVEL, in order to get the win."

**Alec Peters, Olympiacos Piraeus forward**

"For sure we did not play well against ASVEL, but we cannot let this affect us. We have to be focused on the game against Maccabi and have a better approach on this game than we had in the previous one. They have a very strong perimeter and they are moving a lot, with and without the ball. For me the key point will be defense. If we play well on defense, then we can get the win."

### LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne vs. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (20:00 CET)

**Ioannis Sfairopoulos, Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade head coach**

After the game with Monaco, we have a new challenge ahead of us. We are playing against a very good team, which, although it has four defeats behind it, showed how it can be dangerous against Olympiacos, but not only against Olympiacos. They have basketball players who can step up and score 30 points each. We have to be focused and follow the plan that we have envisioned. At the same time, we must not underestimate them, but must fight for every defense and every attack. The rhythm of the game is of great importance and it is important that we try to control it throughout the game."

**Luka Mitrovic, Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade forward**

"The next game is in Lyon. We are not satisfied with one victory in France, we are in a good mood and full of confidence. We want to confirm the break from Monaco, but we know that we will play against good team in front of their fans. We will fight."

### FC Bayern Munich vs. ALBA Berlin (20:30 CET)

**Gordon Herbert, FC Bayern Munich head coach**

"It’s the German derby, which is always special. Berlin is not at full strength and is going through a very tough phase, but they have recently shown great character and that they can win. We will need to step up again, especially on defense."

**Andreas Obst, FC Bayern Munich guard**

"We know that Alba never gives up; that was already the case in the BBL finals. So, in the second half of this double week, we need 40 minutes of energy, focus, and our team basketball again."

**Israel Gonzalez, ALBA Berlin head coach**

"Bayern is playing a good season both nationally and internationally. They have great individual quality, with Edwards in particular standing out as the EuroLeague top scorer. We have to play with the same intensity and attitude as against Milan, but in the end we'll have to see what we can achieve with our capacity. At the moment, we're not necessarily measuring ourselves by wins, but rather by our attitude and fighting spirit – if these two factors are right, it will have a positive impact on us."

**Jonas Mattisseck, ALBA Berlin guard**

"Of course we'll try to take the momentum from the last two games to the tough away duel in Munich. But we're also aware that keeping up the energy in such a phase is another matter. What's more, we don't have our fans behind us, who push us enormously at home and always help us to mobilize a few extra energy percentages. We have to build on the positive things we've achieved in the last few games.”

### Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz vs. AS Monaco (20:30 CET)

\--

### Real Madrid vs. Anadolu Efes Istanbul (20:45 CET)

**Chus Mateo, Real Madrid head coach**

“We know that when we have extra energy we play with more aggressiveness, we play better and that extra contribution is also given to us by the WiZink. Playing at home we feel more confident, although tomorrow we have a tough nut to crack with an Anadolu Efes side that has been able to win four games away from home this year on floors where we have not been able to do so, like Vitoria or Milan. It is true that at home they have lost three games, but away they are proving to be very consistent, very tough, and they are a great team with a very complete roster that knows what they play. Offensively, Anadolu Efes has some very good things and has a lot of resources. Beaubois is unstoppable if he gets hot and Thompson and Bryant generate a lot of plays. They also have players who finish very well from three-point range like Smits and Nwora, and Poirier and Oturu are centers capable of finishing what the others generate. It's a very complete team."

**Walter Tavares, Real Madrid center**

“We are feeling very good at WiZink Center. The first thing is always to protect our home floor, to try to win as many games as possible here because we know that it is very difficult to do so on the road. At the moment we are winning our home games with the support of our fans and that is very important. Anyway, we have to keep improving and now we face Anadolu Efes, a team that has a lot of offensive talent, plays very well and is always difficult. We will try to do our best to get another victory."

**Tomislav Mijatovic, Anadolu Efes Istanbul head coach**

"We are entering the second game of the double game week in one of the more challenging courts against a very experienced team that has high potential individual performers. At the same time we need to continue to apply the same amount of aggressive defense trying to win the rebounding battle and use our full individual potential during the 40 minutes in order to reach our goal which is to win the game."

**Vincent Poirier, Anadolu Efes Istanbul center**

"Real Madrid is a dangerous team, especially at home and we know they have energy. They were struggling to win the last couple of games and we know they will come to compete at the maximum level. They are missing some important players and I think everybody will take a step forward and we will go there and play our game with our strength and do our best to win the game."

On its first visit to WiZink Center since last season's quadruple-overtime classic, Anadolu Efes held on to beat Real Madrid after almost throwing away a 27-point lead.

Efes dodged a bullet in return to Madrid

Maybe [Anadolu Efes Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/anadolu-efes-istanbul/ist/) was still haunted by memories of last season’s historic quadruple-overtime loss at [Real Madrid](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/real-madrid/mad/), because the Turkish team almost allowed a repeat of that drama in Thursday’s rematch at Wizink Center.

It didn’t look that way at first, because Efes absolutely blitzed Real in the first half, threatening to decide the outcome in the second quarter by racing into an incredible 18-45 lead with only 18 minutes played.

It was a real team effort for Efes, with nine different players scoring in the first half and nobody mustering more than [Elijah Bryant](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/elijah-bryant/009846/)’s 9 points as the baskets were spread evenly across the roster.

It takes two to tango, though, and the huge difference between the teams was also facilitated by a Real first-half performance of historically bad proportions. *Los Blancos* made just 2 of its first 17 field-goal attempts, committing 6 turnovers and also missing a free throw in the process. The Spanish team had a collective PIR of -1 at the end of the first quarter, which finished with just 6 points on the board – the third-lowest score in a quarter in Real’s EuroLeague history.

If you thought it was game over, think again. The second half was a total turnaround as Real went on a crazy run, pulling back to within 62-63 with 4 minutes remaining.

Efes only scored 27 points in the second half, but 6 of those came at a crucial moment as [Derek Willis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/derek-willis/009664/) and [Rodrigue Beaubois](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/rodrigue-beaubois/006590/) scored consecutive triples to stop Real’s comeback in its tracks, giving the Turkish team two wins in a week in Spain after also triumphing at Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz on Tuesday.

Former Real center [Vincent Poirier](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/vincent-poirier/004887/) played a big part with 8 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocked shots, and the Frenchman was relieved to escape with a victory from his first return to the Spanish capital, saying: "We made a great first half, and we knew in the third quarter they would come back with more energy and aggression. That’s what they did and we put ourselves in danger.

“We need to correct that, but in the end, we made the effort and won the game. We stayed together, made the right plays at the right moment, and stayed calm to not let it go. It’s a great, great victory for us."

Efes coach Tomislav Mijatovic somehow had a full head of hair at the end of the action despite seeing his team nearly squandering a 27-point advantage, but he had nothing but praise for his players’ ability to hold onto the lead.

“I think the fans enjoyed a great EuroLeague game,” he said. “And I’m super happy and pleased with how our guys are playing. This is the way to continue. This is the way to play, this is the way to go.”

The first half was certainly the way to go. The second? Well, a win is a win…

On its first visit since the quadruple-overtime classic, the Turkish side held on after almost throwing away a 27-point lead

FC Bayern Munich came into the German derby against ALBA Berlin having played a number of games that were close in the end. The team got a welcome break from those nail-biters with a blowout 29-point win in which several team and player records were set or tied.

 Bayern set, tied several team records in rout of ALBA

[FC Bayern Munich](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fc-bayern-munich/mun/) came into the German derby against [ALBA Berlin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/alba-berlin/ber/) having played a number of games that were close in the end. The team got a welcome break from those nail-biters with a [blowout 29-point win](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/bayern-puts-on-offensive-show-in-115-86-rout-of-alba/) in which several team and player records were set or tied.

Bayern took the middle two quarters 68-29 in registering a 115-86 victory over ALBA for a 7-3 record and a perfect 5-0 mark at home.

“I think we played really good basketball in the second and third quarters. We came out with a purpose in the beginning of the third which was really good. I thought we played really good basketball. It’s nice to get a win like this,” Bayern coach [Gordie Herbert](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fc-bayern-munich/mun/herbert-gordon/?season=E2024) said. “Our offensive ball movement was much better tonight. We moved the ball, got some paint touches. And we played together as a team.”

Bayern snatched 16 steals in the win to get a new record, topping the previous best of 15 from 2015 against Khimki Moscow Region. Herbert’s troops also drained 18 three-pointers, which tied the team’s record against Darussafaka Istanbul in 2018.

Bayern’s 62 first-half points also set a new club record and were only 3 points off the EuroLeague mark, which has been done four times. 

The German champions nearly matched their EuroLeague scoring record but the final 115 points was just one away from making history. 

Bayern’s Performance Index Rating total of 134 surpassed its season high of 119 against [Paris Basketball in Round 4](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/bayern-survives-in-high-scoring-thriller-against-paris-109-107/).

Bayern dished out 26 assists in the game, which ranks tied for second for the club - 2 off the team’s all-time best from 2018-19.

From an individual standpoint, [Nick Weiler-Babb](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/nick-weiler-babb/010391/) posted a career-high 11 assists, which also tied [Bayern’s club record ](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/bayern-continues-magic-with-comeback-win-at-efes/)set by [Wade Baldwin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/wade-baldwin-iv/009863/) against Anadolu Efes Istanbul in November 2020.

[Carsen Edwards](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/carsen-edwards/011987/) meanwhile evened his career high with 6 three-pointers, which he set earlier this season against Paris.

16 steals were a new club mark and 18 triples tied the previous standard

LDLC ASVEL finally gave its fans something to cheer about after a gritty 77-74 home win over KK Crvena zvezda, thanks to another inspired performance from Theo Maledon.

Blistering Theo Maledon produced another dazzling performance for ASVEL 

[LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/ldlc-asvel-villeurbanne/asv/) finally gave its fans something to cheer about after [a gritty 77-74 home win](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/brave-asvel-claws-out-impressive-home-win-over-zvezda-77-74/) over [Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/crvena-zvezda-meridianbet-belgrade/red/), thanks to another inspired performance from [Theo Maledon](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/theo-maledon/007027/).

It was the second time this week the talented guard displayed his vast array of skills after dropping 31 points on [Olympiacos Piraeus](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/olympiacos-piraeus/oly/) on Tuesday, but that demonstration of his potential went unrewarded as ASVEL suffered a [tough 94-92 road loss](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/olympiacos-outlasts-asvel-94-92/) after leading for much of the contest.

On Thursday, however, Maledon emerged as the hero as he sank a game-high 26 points, including the last 4 which forced the final twist and helped ASVEL improve to 3-7 following several tight defeats in the opening stages of the season.

Theo Maledon shined against Zvezda

Maledon was ruthlessly efficient against Zvezda from all over as he shot 4 of 4 from two-point range, 3 of 5 from deep and 9 of 10 from the foul line to propel his team.  

Maledon was visibly overjoyed with the outcome, which eased some of the pressure off ASVEL after a series of losses that threatened to derail its EuroLeague season early on.

“This feels great,” he said in a post-game courtside interview. “We were ahead, they made a run but we got the win in the end. Everybody stayed locked in and positive for the full 40 minutes. We’ve lost some games that we could have and should have won, so it feels great not to let this one slip away.”

Big man [Joffrey Lauvergne](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/joffrey-lauvergne/004194/), who also came up big as he racked up 13 points and 10 boards for the home team, acknowledged that a timely change in fortunes could kick-start ASVEL’s bid to move up in the standings.

“It was a big fight and a pleasure to win in the last few seconds as it doesn’t happen to us very often,” said the 33-year-old center. “We need to take it one game at a time and keep improving.”

Head coach [Pierric Poupet](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/ldlc-asvel-villeurbanne/asv/poupet-pierric/?season=E2024) pointed out that commitment and effort finally paid off for his team, which made a commendable 9 of 17 from deep and a rock solid 18 of 20 from the foul line, having also won the battle of the boards 32-31 to compensate for 18 turnovers.

“We deserved it after all the hard work we put in over the last couple of weeks,” he said. ”We were unlucky a couple of times but the work we put in on a daily basis has paid off. I am very happy because we faced a good team today and we found character in the end. We were tired too but we stuck to the game plan and won.”

In Round 11, ASVEL visits perennial French rival AS Monaco while Zvezda hosts city rival Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade in what should be a rip-roaring Serbian derby. 

The 23-year-old guard shined for the French team for the second time in three days
