Real Madrid guard Facu Campazzo had a telling role as his team beat Panathinaikos BC in Round 4 of the 2024-25 EuroLeague season.

The influence of Facu Campazzo was key against Panathinaikos

[Facu Campazzo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/facundo-campazzo/005928/) was instrumental as Real Madrid gained a measure of revenge for last season’s championship game defeat to Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens, [downing the Greek giant 90-86](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/real-madrid-downs-panathinaikos-90-86-in-championship-game-rematch/) in the Spanish capital on Thursday night.

Regardless of the latest edition of one of European basketball’s rivalries between the Whites and the Greens, it was a big game for Chus Mateo’s men as they aimed to bounce back from Tuesday’s loss at Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz and avoid sinking to a 1-3 record.

Campazzo missed that defeat in northern Spain through suspension, but he was back on Thursday night and clearly ready to make up for lost time – understandably showing more energy than many of the players on both teams who had been in action just 48 hours earlier.

The all-action Argentine did a lot of everything as he spent nearly 32 minutes on the floor, grabbing 5 rebounds including 3 at the offensive end, a pair of steals and leading his team in both scoring and distributing, combining 19 points with 6 assists.

But the point guard adopted a selfless tone as he played down those numbers. “The stats are for you guys, not for me!” he laughed.

“I’m very happy to help the team get a win. We don’t have to worry about the offense – everyone and anyone can score in this team. We’ve got to take advantage of that and improve as a team on defense. That’s the challenge this season.”

Real controlled the majority of the action, leading by as many as 17 points towards the end of the third quarter. But Panathinaikos showed the mentality of champions to keep fighting until the end, and the Spanish team was never able to move into cruise control before eventually taking the victory.

Campazzo underlined the amount of effort needed to win the game, saying: “This year we’ve got to work way more than last year. We got so many new players, the other teams know us very well, they know how to play us, so we’ve got to improve as a group.

“So we’re in that process now, but we needed this win. I’m very happy because the team played really well, everyone who played tonight did something positive and made an impact on the game. We played good basketball. We shared the ball, we played good defense, we controlled the rebounds and we ran. And I think when we run, we’re a better team.”

Sharing the ball, playing good defense, taking rebounds and running… Campazzo certainly did all those things and more, helping to give Real Madrid’s season lift off.

Chus Mateo’s Real took a double-digit lead in less than four minutes, but Panathinaikos gradually battled back and it was 43-38 at halftime. *Los Blancos* pulled away again after the break, and held on in the final minutes.

Campazzo netted 5 points in a row before Nunn’s layup and a Hernangomez triple made it closer, 19-10. Papapetrou netted twice and Hernangomez added another threeball, but Campazzo answered from deep for a 28-19 lead after 10 minutes.

Xavier Rathan-Mayes opened the second-quarter scoring with a layup, answered by Omer Yurtseven at the other end. Campazzo’s layup was bettered by Kostas Sloukas’ threeball in a slow scoring passage of play. Mathias Lessort scored his first bucket to make it 32-26, but Sergio Llull answered from deep. Papapetrou and Gaby Deck traded triples, before Hernangomez struck his third triple to pull it back to 40-34. Mario Hezonja and Nunn exchanged two-pointers, making it 43-38 at the interval.

Nunn hit a triple to pull Panathinaikos closer at the start of the third, but Musa netted 7 points in a hurry to protect the home team’s lead. Nunn struck another triple to make it 50-48, before the three-point party continued through Abalde. Walter Tavares added a dunk and Abalde scored again to complete a 9-0 run for a 59-48 lead.

Deck and Llull struck from deep to protect the lead early in the fourth, and Hezonja added a thrilling alley-oop for a 78-62 advantage. But the tireless Nunn brought the Greens back with a three-point play and a jumper in a 0-9 run. Tavares dunked again to settle the host, and Campazzo’s free throws reestablished a double-digit lead, 82-71. Osman and Campazzo traded three-point blows, before Hernangomez and Lessort gave the Greens hope. Hezonja and Hernangomez both hit triples, and it was 88-81 with two minutes left. Llull’s layup gave Real breathing room, helping secure a big win.

The hosts led the entire way, but the Greens stopped them from running away with it

Partizan powers past Maccabi, 79-91

Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade felt comfortable at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall on Thursday night, beating Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv 79-91 at the Israeli team's temporary home on Thursday night. Sterling Brown netted almost half of his team’s points in the fourth quarter, a period in which Partizan outscored Maccabi 15-25 to clinch its second straight victory and first on the road. Following Partizan's win, both teams now boast a 2-2 record.

Brown paced Partizan with a game-high 20 points and Isaac Bonga went 4 for 5 from beyond the arc for 14 points. Frank Ntilikina scored 12 points for the visitors, with Iffe Lundberg and Carlik Jones adding 11 each. For Maccabi, Levi Randolph bagged a team-high 19 points, 17 of which were scored in the first half, with Jasiel Rivero netting 15 and Jaylen Hoard recording 14. Roman Sorkin had 11 points, while Tamir Blatt came close to recording a triple-double as he registered 10 points, 9 assists and 9 rebounds.

A frenetic start to the game saw the two teams score 12 points each in the first four minutes, with Randolph nailing two triples for the hosts and Bonga taking his tally to 5 early points for Partizan. Two three-point plays from Rivero sandwiched a three-pointer from Blatt as Maccabi pulled away with a 21-12 lead. Bonga netted a corner triple to end Maccabi’s 9-0 run before a Tyrique Jones layup in transition cut the difference to 21-17. Then, Aleksej Pokusevski scored his first EuroLeague points with a jumper before Jones and Lundberg tied it at 23-23. The latter nailed a corner triple to put Partizan ahead, with the Serbian side taking a 27-28 lead into the second quarter.

The two teams exchanged blows from inside to start the second before triples from Bonga and Carlik Jones gave Partizan a 36-42 cushion. Yet, Maccabi responded with a 10-0 run inspired by an extraordinary Randolph, who ended the first half with 17 points and 5 rebounds for a PIR of 20, to take back the lead, 46-42, at the break.

Rivero opened the second half with a buzzer-beating bucket from inside, but Ntilikina drilled one from beyond the arc and two buckets from Vanja Marinkovic put Partizan back in front, 49-51. Sorkin ended Partizan’s 8-0 run with a triple before a Blatt three-pointer and a Hoard basket put Maccabi back ahead, 57-55. Yet, Brown responded with a triple of his own and Davies netted a bucket to restore a 57-60 lead for the guests. Maccabi replied with a 5-0 run of its own, but Bonga netted his fourth triple of the night for the 21st lead change of the game, 62-63. The third quarter ended with a three-point play from Davies, allowing Partizan to maintain a 64-66 lead after 30 minutes.

The Serbian side started off the closing quarter the way they ended the third, with Lundberg completing a three-point play, 64-69. Partizan dictated the tempo and pulled away 70-77 thanks to Brown, who took his tally to 11 points. Then, Ntilikina nailed an open triple from the corner and Brown completed a three-point play for a 75-83 cushion heading into crunch time. Maccabi tried to fight back in the remaining 2 minutes, but buckets from Brown and Carlik Jones extended Partizan’s lead to double digits, 77-87, and practically finished the game off.

Wade Baldwin still has plenty more levels to reach, but he had a decent bounce-back performance in Round 4 as Fenerbahçe Beko beat ALBA Berlin.

Third-quarter spurt helped Wade Baldwin forget Round 3 disappointment 

On Thursday night, [Wade Baldwin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/wade-baldwin-iv/009863/) came into the second game of the double-round week wanting to forget his nightmare Round 3 against Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade. And the Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul guard did just that, [helping his team grab a 71-78 road victory at ALBA Berlin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/fenerbahce-rebounds-with-71-78-road-win-over-alba/).

Baldwin scored 13 points to go with 4 assists as Fenerbahce improved to a 3-1 record. Baldwin struggled a bit shooting the ball, going 3 for 10 from the field, but made 7 of 10 free throws after drawing 6 fouls.

“Everybody needs to feel part of the game. We’re still finding our way,” Baldwin told EuroLeague TV afterward. “We’re a relatively new team. I think we just need to play a little bit faster – find our rhythm, get guys going and have some fun.”

The 28-year-old added 1 steal as he played tough defense on ALBA’s perimeter players and helped Fenerbahce hold ALBA to just 23.1% on three-pointers.

“It was a bit of a slower game. You would expect teams like ALBA Berlin and us to play a little faster,” he added. “The pace was a little slower. But we really dug in on defense, controlled them and didn’t let them get up a lot of three-point attempts, which they like to do. We were grinding away and found a way to get to our spots and execute.”

Baldwin two nights earlier at home was limited to 3 points on 1-of-6 shots and committed 5 turnovers in Fenerbahce¡s loss to Zvezda. The American had tallied 3 points in Game 4 of last year’s playoffs against Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens, but he played just 7:25 minutes. The last time he was held to 3 points before that was in Round 17 against Real Madrid in 2022-23, when he was coming back after missing four games.

It looked like he was going to have another subpar game in the German capital as he tallied just one point in the first half, but he came out strong in the third quarter, tallying nine points in the period, including four big points as the lead grew to 12 points after ALBA had trimmed the gap to five points.

Baldwin took a big step in forgetting his poor Round 3 performance, with the guard and Fenerbahce now eager to build on this game heading into next Friday’s clash at home to Panathinaikos.

Fenerbahce Beko got back to winning ways in the EuroLeague by beating ALBA Berlin 71-78 in Round 4 on Thursday night.

Fenerbahce rebounds with 71-78 road win over ALBA

Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul bounced back from its disappointing Round 3 home loss to Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade by defeating ALBA Berlin 71-78 on the road on Thursday night. After scoring just 57 points against Crvena Zvezda, Fenerbahce drained 10-of-13 three-pointers in the first half and ended up improving to a 3-1 record.

Nigel Hayes-Davis scored a team-high 14 points, Wade Baldwin had 13, Tarik Biberovic hit 4 three-pointers for 12 points and Nicolo Melli also chipped in 12 points in the victory. ALBA missed a chance for a perfect double-round week which would have been the team’s first back-to-back wins since Rounds 33 and 34 of the 2022-23 season. Matteo Spagnolo and Martin Hermannsson both tallied 13 points to pace ALBA, which dropped to 1-2.

Despite playing in front of essentially a home crowd in Berlin’s Uber Arena, Fenerbahce needed nearly three minutes to score with a free throw and missed its first eight shots as it fell behind 8-1 before Devon Hall scored a layup at the 5:32-minute mark. After five straight Fenerbahce points cut the gap to two points, ALBA’s combo of Khalifa Koumadje and Trevion Williams helped push the lead to 16-9. The guests got two more triples from Arturs Zagars and Biberovic and the score was 16-15 after 10 minutes.

Fenerbahce remained ice-cold from inside the three-point stripe early on in the second quarter at 1 for 12 but was red-hot from long range, going 6 for 12 as Biberovic and Dyshawn Pierre added triples to help put Fenerbahce 20-21 ahead. Pierre and Biberovic each added another triple – the latter up to four three-pointers already – and Fenerbahce led 24-28. Melli joined the party with a triple and Fenerbahce was ahead 28-35. And Hayes-Davis made it a 10th triple in the first half right before the buzzer to lead 31-38 at the break.

Fenerbahce's impressive outside shooting continued at the start of the second, with Hayes-Davis hitting from downtown to start the third quarter and Baldwin making it 31-43 soon after. ALBA fought to stay close and triples from Williams and Louis Olinde had the hosts within 45-50. Baldwin had a strong third quarter with nine points and his production pushed Fenerbahce’s cushion out to 11 points, 45-56. The guests were leading 47-58 after 30 minutes.

Alba needed more than two minutes to score in the fourth quarter as it could not take advantage of Fenerbahce needing almost three minutes to add to the scoreboard with a Melli three-pointer for a 49-61 lead. A mini 6-0 surge had ALBA within 58-64 with four minutes left. Fenerbahce answered with a 2-7 spurt to reestablish an 11-point advantage with under three minutes to play. The home side trimmed the margin to six points, but Hayes-Davis iced the game with a three-point play with 16 seconds left for a 69-78 lead.
