Some players feel comfortable in certain arenas, and that is definitely the case for FC Barcelona forward Will Clyburn when it comes to Buesa Arena. Clyburn led Barca to a 91-97 road victory over Kosner Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, sparking his team’s turnaround in the third quarter.

Barcelona's Will Clyburn wins at Buesa Arena... again 

Some players feel comfortable in certain arenas, and that is definitely the case for [FC Barcelona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/fc-barcelona/bar/) forward [Will Clyburn](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/will-clyburn/004888/) when it comes to Buesa Arena. Clyburn led Barca to a 91-97 road victory over [Kosner Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz/bas/), sparking his team’s turnaround in the third quarter.

Clyburn led CSKA Moscow to the 2019 EuroLeague title at Buesa Arena, earning Final Four MVP honors. He finished the Championship Game with 20 points and 5 rebounds in a 93-91 win over Anadolu Efes Istanbul. He was also solid in the semifinal against Real Madrid, scoring 18 points, grabbing 5 rebounds and providing one of the biggest highlights in Final Four history with a huge poster dunk over *Los Blancos'* center Walter Tavares.

Last season, Clyburn lifted Virtus Bologna past Baskonia at Buesa Arena with a game-winning four-point play. After Nikos Rogkavopoulos gave Baskonia an 81-78 lead, Clyburn buried a three-pointer off the glass, drew a foul and hit the and-one free throw to seal the win.

Kosner Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz-FC Barcelona | Round 27 Highlights | 2025-26 EuroLeague

This time, Clyburn had a quiet first half, reaching halftime with just two points and a PIR of 1. Everything changed in the third quarter, when he knocked down a couple of his trademark step-back three-pointers, added a dunk and scored a big basket in the low post. Barca hit 5-of-6 three-pointers in the quarter, dished out seven assists with just two turnovers, and turned a 51-48 deficit into a 76-68 lead behind Clyburn’s leadership. [Kevin Punter](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kevin-punter/009862/) was injured midway through the fourth quarter, but that didn’t prevent Barca from controlling the game.

“I think in the third quarter, step by step, we started to dominate the game. We changed the way we played from the second quarter, but in the third quarter we started to dominate,” Barca coach Xavi Pascual said. “At the end of the game, we had some foul trouble and Punter got injured. It looks like we cannot be happy even one day, because with this injury we cannot really enjoy the victory too much. But on the other hand, it was a very important win for us.”

Clyburn finished with 14 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and a PIR of 17. After an early loss in Vitoria-Gasteiz with Darussafaka Istanbul, he is 9-1 in his last 10 games at Buesa Arena, winning with four different teams: CSKA, Efes, Virtus and now Barca. His only loss in that stretch came with Efes, a 114-111 overtime defeat.

With the win, Barca improved to 17-10 and sits fourth overall with just 11 games remaining in the regular season.

“We knew we had a big chance to move forward. We have to keep focusing on what we have to do and the best way to play,” Laprovittola said after the game. “We know we have to fight, play good basketball and control the game, but it’s not going to be easy. Today, we fought a lot and I think we improved. We have to get everybody on the same page.”

Kosner Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz v FC Barcelona (2026-02-06T19:30:00.000Z)

This double-round week in the EuroLeague will no doubt long live in the memory of joyous Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv fans. On Friday night, the Israeli side pipped Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade 82-83 in Round 27 for a second successive win over teams from the Serbian capital.

This double-round week in the EuroLeague will no doubt long live in the memory of joyous [Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/maccabi-rapyd-tel-aviv/tel/) fans. On Friday night, the Israeli side pipped [Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/crvena-zvezda-meridianbet-belgrade/red/) 82-83 in Round 27 for a second successive win over teams from the Serbian capital.

The victory came just three days after [Maccabi sank Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade 95-93](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/jimmy-clark-steps-up-in-crunch-time-as-maccabi-edges-partizan/) with a buzzer-beating jumper from [Jimmy Clark](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/clark-iii-jimmy/013699/), who had posted a career high of 21 points to delight the home faithful. This time, he went one better and scored 22 as Maccabi survived a late onslaught from Zvezda, which missed an opportunity to make it six wins in a row.

It was a rollercoaster from start to finish as Maccabi dominated the boards 22-13 in the first half and opened up a 40-49 lead at the interval, with Clark pouring in 15 points to counter a monster first-quarter effort by [Jordan Nwora](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/jordan-nwora/013363/), who netted 14 in the opening 10 minutes of the contest. An 11-2 run early in the third saw Zvezda turn the tide as Nwora took center stage again – and the lead changed hands until the bitter end, when Maccabi had more left in the tank.

Ironically, the visiting team’s final surge came after a vicious [Chima Moneke](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/chima-moneke/012201/) dunk at the other end which gave Zvezda a 74-70 lead but it seemed to galvanize Maccabi, which responded with a 2-13 streak that ultimately proved decisive. 

Zvezda closed the contest with a 6-0 run but Nwora missed a tough shot and two of his teammates failed to put back the rebound from close range on the final buzzer.

[Jaylen Hoard](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/jaylen-hoard/006835/) won the player of the game accolade with 15 points and 7 boards, while [Roman Sorkin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/roman-sorkin/011219/) chalked up 15 and 8 and [O’Shae Brissett](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/o-shae-j-brissett/014127/) chipped in with 14 and 8. At the other end, Nwora paced Zvezda on 22 points but remained scoreless in the second and fourth quarters, while [Jared Butler](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/jared-butler/014163/) netted 16 and Moneke added 14.

“It was amazing. Great atmosphere here obviously, and we really wanted to come away with a win to finish off a great double week,” Hoard said in his postgame comments. “We played hard, good defense and stayed together on offense. We had a lot of close games and got more confident as the season progressed, I feel we’re getting better as a team and handled it really well today.”

Clark added: “It was very tough playing in an atmosphere like this with the fans tuned in throughout the 40 minutes. We came here with just one thing on our minds: to try to be aggressive and get the win.”

It was a morale-boosting outcome for Maccabi head coach Oded Kattash, who saw his team improve to 12-15 and keep alive its slim postseason hopes despite losing the battle of the boards 38-40 and committing 18 turnovers against just 14 assists, with Zvezda dishing out 10 assists more.   

“I like the way we played,” said Kattash. “In the first half we controlled the rebounds, but in the second we knew they would come out aggressively and we were struggling. We managed to stay calm and it wasn’t pretty in the end, but we can see the mental improvement of the team as we kept losing games like this earlier this season. I am very proud of the team. This is a very special win for us.”

It was a setback for Zvezda head coach Sasa Obradovic as the Serbian side dropped to 16-11 following an impressive run of five successive wins as his men missed an opportunity to move a step further in the playoff picture, dropping two places down to seventh.

“We lost a bit of organization in the final quarter,” said the former international guard. “We’ve shown great character down the road but we can’t complain; we just have to be smarter in some situations.

“We failed to capitalize on good defense in the second half and we’re now carrying the weight of expectation as favorites after working our way up the ladder. The lads left their hearts out on the court but seemed to have lost their patience after a good run of results.”

A loss on the road at Dubai Basketball on Tuesday and the way it came in overtime was a bitter pill for Olympiacos Piraeus to swallow. Heading into Friday’s clash against Virtus Bologna, the Reds were looking for the type of bounce-back performance that would see them rediscover their mojo, and they did just that in a dominant 109-77 victory.

A loss on the road at Dubai Basketball on Tuesday and the way it came in overtime was a bitter pill for [Olympiacos Piraeus](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/olympiacos-piraeus/oly/) to swallow. Heading into Friday’s clash against [Virtus Bologna](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/virtus-segafredo-bologna/vir/), the Reds were looking for the type of bounce-back performance that would see them rediscover their mojo.

Not only did Olympiacos grab a comfortable 109-77 victory to end the double-round week on a positive note, but it did so in an emphatic way against one of the EuroLeague's stingiest defenses. 

Despite the long trip to Dubai earlier this week, Georgios Bartzokas’s side drew energy from the home crowd and motivation from Tuesday’s defeat. Olympiacos simply crushed the Italian side, which boasted the league's fifth-best defense (83.2 points conceded per game) heading into the game but couldn’t prevent the hosts from comfortably reaching the 100-point mark.

Olympiacos Piraeus-Virtus Bologna | Round 27 Highlights | 2025-26 EuroLeague

“We had a bad performance against Dubai, we needed to bounce back,” [Sasha Vezenkov](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/sasha-vezenkov/003469/), the [EuroLeague's MVP of the Month for January](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/sasha-vezenkov-shines-as-euroleague-mvp-for-january/), told EuroLeague TV. “We know that Virtus is a tough team, but we didn’t give them a chance tonight. I’m very happy we won this game. Every win in the EuroLeague is very important. There are no bad teams, bad players. Everybody is playing for his pride, his next contract, a goal. For every win, every week we have to give 100%. We played total basketball today on offense and defense.”

Olympiacos flexed its offensive muscle, with Vezenkov setting the tone early by scoring 10 points in the first quarter. He would go on to record 20 points in just over 24 minutes, along with 8 rebounds and 3 assists. Vezenkov was assisted by a clinical [Tyler Dorsey](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/tyler-dorsey/009849/), who bagged 18 points – 15 of which came from beyond the arc.

“We wanted to bounce back and that’s what we did,” Dorsey noted. “We usually take the lead and then let teams come back. Tonight we didn’t do that. Proud of the guys, way to finish out the week.”

As many as 11 players netted 5 points, with Olympiacos going 26-for-38 (68.4%) from two-point range and 13-for-28 (46.4%) from deep.

Virtus did start strong and traded blows with the Reds in the first quarter, but Olympiacos was completely dominant in the second. The hosts, who finished the game with the starters having netted 57 points to the second unit's 52, held the guests to just 11 points in the second quarter while pouring in 37 of their own to take a 61-34 lead at halftime.

Those 61 points tied Olympiacos’s record for the most points scored in a first half as Bartzokas’s side fired on all cylinders before the break.

“We have a very deep roster,” Vezenkov added. “The most important thing and the most difficult thing is for everybody to find his role. A lot of talented players, a lot of players with ego in a good way. Everybody wants to play and when you find this chemistry, this balance, then good things happen.”

Having improved its record to 17-9, Olympiacos sits second in the standings behind reigning champion Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul. The Reds ended the double-round week with a bang and will look to build a new winning run next Thursday against the 16-11 Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade.

The Serbian side may have won the last three games between the two teams, but Olympiacos proved on Friday night that it boasts the offensive power to bring an end to that head-to-head losing streak.

“Whether it’s nasty, ugly or whatever, it doesn’t matter – a win is a win, especially on the road,” stated Armoni Brooks after his EA7 Emporio Armani Milan team staved off a hearty LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne comeback to win 76-77 on Friday night at LDLC Arena.

Milan escapes gutsy ASVEL fightback to earn crucial road win

“Whether it’s nasty, ugly or whatever, it doesn’t matter – a win is a win, especially on the road,” stated [Armoni Brooks](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/armoni-brooks/013384/) after his [EA7 Emporio Armani Milan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/ea7-emporio-armani-milan/mil/) team staved off a hearty [LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/ldlc-asvel-villeurbanne/asv/) comeback to win 76-77 on Friday night at LDLC Arena.

Though ASVEL came flying out of the blocks, earning a lead in the opening period through strong team offense, its Italian opponent was quick to push back, locking in on both ends to take a five-point advantage to the locker room at the half. Milan widened the margin to double digits in the third, but ASVEL came storming back in the final period, making it a one-point game with under a minute remaining.

The French team hustled hard to earn a chance to win the game with their its shot, but when the referees made their final review on a late dunk attempt by [Mbaye Ndiaye](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/mbaye-ndiaye/012731/), it was deemed that ASVEL came up just a point – and a millisecond – short.

With their third consecutive win, Peppe Poeta’s men earned a winning record of 14-13, putting themselves in a strong position to compete for a spot in the EuroLeague Playoffs. Despite the positive momentum, however, Milan’s coach isn’t getting ahead of himself just yet.

“We cannot look too far ahead; you have to look game by game,” Poeta said. “The EuroLeague is a tough beast and you cannot relax, not even one second, not against anybody, on the road, (at) home. Wherever you play, it’s a tough game.”

His team certainly did things the hard way, given their healthy third-quarter position, but Poeta was encouraged by the resilience they showed to get the job done.

“We can do that; we showed it many times. We just need to be more consistent for all 40 minutes, it’s all about that.”

[Marko Guduric](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/marko-guduric/004004/) shone for Milan. Finishing the game with a PIR of 23, the Serbian guard added 7 assists to his 18-point scoring performance, which he earned at a clip of 7-for-11. The 30-year-old was buoyant after the buzzer, despite his team’s difficulties down the stretch.

“A big win for us to stay in the fight for the playoffs,” said Guduric. “ASVEL showed great character to come back. We started playing slow, but in the end it’s the win that’s important. Proud of the team, of the effort. There are a lot of things we can do better, but we’re on the right path.”

He couldn’t get it done alone. [Quinn Ellis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/quinn-ellis/012593/) impressed, recording 13 points and 5 boards to help his edge his team over the line. Highlighting the offensive distribution, [Armoni Brooks](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/armoni-brooks/013384/) and [Zach LeDay](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/zach-leday/008987/) also scored in double digits on the night. Incredibly, the visitors finished the game with 14 more turnovers than the hosts and still came away with the all-important W.

Interior scoring was a key area of struggle for ASVEL, which was led by [Braian Angola](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/braian-angola/010465/)’s 23 points. Coach Pierric Poupet felt his team's lack of frontcourt shot-making was the big difference.

“We fought until the end, that’s the thing to keep in mind,” said Poupet. “We lacked presence inside today, they switched a lot on ball screens and we couldn’t hit a shot inside, in the first half especially. Unfortunately, things happen this way and we have to live with this. We have important games ahead. On to the next one. I’m proud of the character we showed.”

With the loss, ASVEL fell to 7-20 and will hope for a major reaction when it faces Valencia Basket next Thursday. Meanwhile, Milan will look to make it four in a row when it welcomes an in-form Dubai Basketball to Allianz Cloud in a week’s time.

Anadolu Efes Istanbul came into this week with nine straight defeats and was in danger of setting the worst losing streak in club history. Well, 80 minutes, 199 points and 50 assists later, Efes pulled out two double-digit wins against a pair of playoff contenders.

Efes turns to offense to sink playoff-hopeful Zalgiris

[Anadolu Efes Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/anadolu-efes-istanbul/ist/) came into this week with nine straight defeats and was in danger of setting the worst losing streak in club history. Well, 80 minutes, 199 points and 50 assists later, Efes pulled out two double-digit wins against a pair of playoff contenders.

On Friday night, Efes scored the final 13 points of the game to beat the visiting [Zalgiris Kaunas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/zalgiris-kaunas/zal/) 92-82 to top off a perfect double-round week.

“It feels good,” said playmaker [Nick Weiler-Babb](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nick-weiler-babb/010391/), who scored 13 points. “You get lost a little bit in the frustrations of losing, but it feels good to get a couple wins back at home. Let’s try to carry on the momentum.”

Weiler-Babb shot 3-of-7 from behind the arc, while the entire team made 16 three-pointers on 32 attempts and dished 24 assists. That is just two fewer than the 26 that Efes had on Tuesday in [a 17-point win over Valencia Basket](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/osmani-leads-efes-past-valencia-to-end-a-ninegame-slide/), and after Efes entered the week averaging just 16.8 assists.

“If you want to improve as a team, you have to be able to believe in your teammates,” Efes head coach Pablo Laso said, sharing a nugget of wisdom. “It was a great example of passing the ball around and finding the open man.”

Anadolu Efes Istanbul-Zalgiris Kaunas | Round 27 Highlights | 2025-26 EuroLeague

It was only his third win in his 12th game Efes head coach, and his second against Zalgiris. Each of those three wins, however, came by a double-digit margin, and in each Efes scored at least 87 points, including 107 and 92 this week. In eight of the nine losses before this week, Efes was held below 80 points.

“Coach Pablo has been preaching about picking up our pace,” explained [Jordan Loyd](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/jordan-loyd/009754/), the team’s top scorer on the night with 19 points on 4-for-6 three-point shooting. “We were playing a little bit slower before, and now we've just got to pick up our pace. We've got be aggressive offensively. And when we get a defensive rebound, push the tempo. I think that’s helped, and we are moving the ball much better.”

Efes made 10 first-half three-pointers – its joint highest figure through the first 20 minutes since this stat started to be recorded in the 2007-08 season – and the hosts were in control, holding a 10-point third-quarter lead only for Zalgiris to go in front thanks to a 2-18 run and open a 57-63 advantage.

In the fourth quarter, Efes used an 11-0 run to take a 76-71 lead, but Zalgiris answered with a 3-11 spurt to retake the advantage. However, Efes finished the game with a 13-0 run to get a regular-season sweep of Zalgiris.

“A lot of times we got in trouble; the fourth quarter was when teams switch against us, we kind of stopped the ball, we don’t move it very well,” Weiler-Babb said. “Today, we had a little spot when we stopped moving the ball, but we got back to moving the ball, playing a little bit faster. When we move the ball, the ball feels light and the shots go in.”

With an 8-19 record, barring a miracle run, Efes is out of playoff contention. However, the team proved this week it has every intention to compete until the very end. And once [Shane Larkin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/shane-larkin/007200/) returns after his lengthy absence, as well as [Rolands Smits](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/rolands-smits/007109/) and [Isaia Cordinier](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/isaia-cordinier/009549/), Efes looks like a prime candidate to play the role of spoiler, just like it did against Zalgiris on Friday night.

Pablo Laso's side used a strong finish to get its second straight win

Pregame quotes hub: Round 27

## Friday, February 6

### Anadolu Efes Istanbul vs. Zalgiris Kaunas (18:30 CET)

**Pablo Laso, Efes head coach**

"Zalgiris Kaunas is a very solid team and I think they have three excellent point guards, each different but capable of playing together. Sylvain Francisco, Nigel Williams-Goss and Maodo Lo all create for them and with Dovydas Giedraitis back, they have even more depth at that position. Across positions 2 through 5, they are very solid, with high basketball IQ and distinct roles: Dustin Sleva as a shooter, Moses Wright inside, Azuolas Tubelis as an all-around player and Edgaras Ulanovas as a classic Euroleague player. It will be a very difficult game for us. Zalgiris is having a great EuroLeague season and playing at a high level. One of our best games this season was in Kaunas, but we know how difficult it is to match up with a team playing so solidly. We have to keep working on our identity as a team, because if we don’t play well collectively, we will suffer against a team like Zalgiris."

**Ercan Osmani, Efes forward**

"We made a good start to the double-game week by defeating Valencia. Now we are facing Zalgiris. It is one of the most historic teams in the EuroLeague and they are competing well this season. Our goal is to finish this game with a victory as well. Afterwards, we want to win all of our remaining games and finish the league in the best possible position."

**Tomas Masiulis, Zalgiris head coach**

"Another very talented opponent, similar to AS Monaco, but their position in the standings doesn’t reflect their true level. Even with injuries, they still have plenty of talented players who are very good at their positions. They may have had a weaker stretch, but now they convincingly beat Valencia by playing their own style — running the floor, making shots, and defending really well. It’s a tough opponent. You can’t look at the standings."

### LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne vs. EA7 Emporio Armani Milan (20:00 CET)

**Peppe Poeta, Milan head coach**

"It is a game with a lot of difficulties because ASVEL, despite its position in the standings, is pretty much alive and competitive. They have been able to play to the end with Barcelona and Panathinaikos, they just defeated Bologna on the road. We'll need all our physicality against one of the most athletic team in the league, limit their offensive rebounds, keep them from developing their transitions offense and contain the one on one plays of the guys that they have, capable to create for themselves and their teammates."

### Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade vs. Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv (20:00 CET)

**Sasa Obradovic, Crvena Zvezda head coach**

"We’re playing against a very dangerous opponent. They’ve caused problems for everyone, recorded significant wins against Zalgiris and Panathinaikos, and also managed to beat Partizan. Statistically, they are the best team in half-court offense. They play fast, everyone is constantly moving, and they are very atypical. It has always been difficult for me to prepare for a team like Maccabi. They have many options coming from the same initial action, and they’re not easy to stop. We beat them in the first game. Our goal is not just to win, but to dominate, although the most important thing is to win – especially after the emotional drain of a game like Hapoel, and now we’re facing a very demanding opponent."

**Joel Bolomboy, Crvena Zvezda center**

"They have some players currently out of the roster, so we’ll see tomorrow who will be available for them. They have many players who can score. Iffe Lundberg played particularly well in the last game and he knows this arena. We have to prepare like we do for every other game – play team defense and team offense. We have a lot of guards and centers, guys who can create scoring opportunities, especially in transition. We’re playing at a very high pace – that’s the biggest difference I’ve noticed since I came back. I know defense is important, and it helps that I have teammates who can score, so I can focus on defense. When I fully get into the flow offensively, the shots will come. The guys are getting used to me setting screens. Defense is my strength, and that’s what I’m focused on."

**Oded Kattash, Maccabi head coach**

"We’re heading into the second part of this double week. The feeling after the last game is that we’re happy we won, but we didn’t play at our strongest. We can do more, and we will demand more on the defensive end and in terms of intensity. That’s especially true ahead of one of the toughest road games in the EuroLeague, particularly given the form they’re in. T.J. \[Leaf\] is a significant blow. We’ll need to make up for it, just as we’ve done with other players. \[Joel\] Bolomboy is very important for them, but not only him. They also have size, they’re averaging around 15 offensive rebounds in recent games, they play with a lot of intensity and switch a lot defensively. It’s a very tough away game, a good challenge for us."

**Jaylen Hoard, Maccabi forward**

"They're obviously a really good team. They've got a deep roster, actually deeper than when we played them last time. They've got Jordan Nwora back, \[Jared\] Butler. They've got a lot of great players. It's going to be a tough matchup, but it's definitely a game we can win. We're just going to have to be very physical, box them out, and just match their physicality because that's a very physical team. It's very unfortunate \[that T.J. Leaf got injured\], I love T.J. Me and him get on very well. Losing him definitely hurts the team, but we're going to just have to fill the void that he left with the injury, whether that's me, Gur \[Lavi\] or Will \[Rayman\], guys that can play stepping up at the 4, but it's very unfortunate."

### Olympiacos Piraeus vs. Virtus Bologna (20:15 CET)

**Georgios Bartzokas, Olympiacos head coach**

"Virtus is a very good team, everyone knows that. We fought hard to win there. They have Edwards, who has the green light from the coaches to score in every possible way. It’s a team with clearly defined roles that plays very tough defense. We have to respect them even more. We are coming off a loss; we didn’t play well in Dubai. They deserved to win there, and they did."

**Tyrique Jones, Olympiacos center**

"Virtus is a quality team that plays at a fast pace. In their last games they’ve been playing well. We need to protect our basket and get the win."

**Dusko Ivanovic, Virtus head coach**

"This is not the time to think. Tomorrow we have a difficult game, like any EuroLeague game, especially when it's a double-round week. I believe we can recover well and take to the court with the right mindset to win this game."

**Saliou Niang, Virtus forward**

“We are expecting a very tough match, especially because this is a bit of a difficult time for us. It will be important to stick together. We know our potential, and we know we can beat anyone, because we have already proven it. Let’s stick together and give it our all, as always.”

### Kosner Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz vs. FC Barcelona (20:30 CET)

**Paolo Galbiati, Baskonia head coach**

"You still have to respect them – in every aspect. They’ve lost four games, but they were up by 15 against Murcia, which is an incredible team. They’ve played very tough games against Olympiacos and Fenerbahce. This is a moment that every team goes through, but Barça has a very interesting roster and an incredible coach. They’re a tremendous team, but it’s a good moment for us to face them. They have a lot of talent – on the perimeter and inside. They’re a very tactical team, with many defensive looks and a long playbook. We need our communication to be at a very high level, and our togetherness as well."

**Xavi Pascual, Barcelona head coach**

"Baskonia is a team that’s doing very well. I think they’re very well coached, they have very clear ideas, and they’ve had some issues with injuries to key players, which has hurt them. Like all teams with a slightly shorter roster, injuries really take a toll. Still, they already showed at the Palau that when they find their rhythm, they’re very hard to stop. They’ve proven it in some of their wins, like the one you mentioned at home against Zalgiris, where they played very well. Yes, we need to get back to winning. In the end, it’s been nine days, four games, and four losses. Honestly, I don’t remember many times when I’ve lost four in a row. The team needs a win to grow. We’re four games away from the \[Spanish\] Cup, and it’s important to get back on a winning track as soon as possible so we can arrive at the Cup in a good mental state. In the EuroLeague especially, the last two games – against Olympiacos and Fenerbahce – really hurt us. It’s true we made a big effort, but we weren’t able to finish either game when we went into the fourth quarter with a chance to win. That’s the reality. In Murcia, we started very well. At home against Tenerife, we didn’t start well. That’s something that’s been happening quite a bit since I’ve been here: the team has struggled in first quarters. It’s clearly something we still need to fix."

**Kevin Punter, Barcelona guard**

"We’re all right. Obviously, it’s about pulling together for us right now, but we’re okay. We’re going through an adversity period, and we just have to find a way to fight through it. It’s basketball – you’ve got to fight through it. Friday is going to be a tough, tough game. Obviously, we won at home, but regardless of the record, it’s the EuroLeague. It’s going to be a tough game, and they’re going to be fighting to protect their home court. So we’ve got to come out and bring it. We’ve got our own personal stuff we’re going through as a team right now, so we’ve got to come in and really do what we do best. The last couple of games, we haven’t been doing that 100 percent. Friday is a good opportunity on the road to really handle our business."

## Thursday, February 5

### Dubai Basketball vs. Real Madrid (17:00 CET)

**Jurica Golemac, Dubai head coach**

"We expect that the gym is going to be full, that the fans are going to give us this energy that we need, especially in this double week. Real Madrid is one of the best teams in the league. They are showing this. We need to play our most focused game of the season, the most physical game. You cannot stop one player and say that you did your job. They have 12 players that are amazing, with great quality. We're going to need to be extra focused and physical."

**Dzanan Musa, Dubai forward**

"Against my former team, it's never easy to play against your friends. But I'm representing Dubai now, so I can't wait to come out on the court and be in the game. It's not going to be easy, of course. Real Madrid is a powerhouse of EuroLeague basketball, it's going to be very difficult to beat them. We need to be focused for 40 minutes on our game plan, and I think if we execute we will win the game."

**Sergio Scariolo, Real Madrid head coach**

"Well, it’s definitely a different kind of experience, right? A long trip after a very tough game, without two very important players like \[Gaby\] Deck and \[Theo\] Maledon, who we obviously missed in Athens. Still, our focus is on recovering as much as possible, both physically and mentally, with our eyes already on the next opponent.

"\[Dubai is\] probably one of the three or four most talented teams in the EuroLeague in terms of scoring depth, with many players capable of putting points on the board. They’ve proven they can win convincingly against top-level opponents like Fenerbahce and Olympiacos. To compete with them, you have to play a great game. 

"We’re still in an ideal position heading into the final stretch of the regular season, but it’s true that as the number of remaining games goes down, each one carries more weight. Every game matters, and they all have a significant impact on the fight for the top spots."

**Alex Len, Real Madrid center**

"Every game from now until the end of the season is just as important as the next one. We only have 12 games left, and if you look at the standings, there are about seven teams with the same number of wins. So we understand how much every game matters. We’re just trying to take it one day at a time and go out there to get the win.

"They’re a very good team. They know how to score the ball and they have a lot of talent. But if we come in focused and start the game on the defensive end, I think we’ll have a chance to beat them."

### Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv vs. Valencia Basket (20:00 CET)

\--

### Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade vs. Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (20:30 CET)

**Joan Penarroya, Partizan head coach**

"We’re facing a very serious opponent, and one of the favorites to win the competition. We had a tough game yesterday, and now another one is already ahead of us. Recovery will be very important, especially since we’re still dealing with a shortened rotation. The key for tomorrow is to come out with the right mindset from the start and try to perform even better than we did in the last game. We hope to put together a strong performance, and we know our fans can play a big role in helping us achieve that."

**Isaac Bonga, Partizan forward**

"We’re expecting a very demanding and tough game. Panathinaikos is a team with a lot of individual quality, they play at a strong pace, and they have a coach with huge EuroLeague experience. Their talent allows them to go on big runs and turn games around. Our job will be to stop their momentum and keep control of our own throughout the entire game."

**Ergin Ataman, Panathinaikos head coach**

"Partizan is always a big team that deserves respect in every game. It will be another important match for us, as we will try to get a road win in order to continue improving our position in the standings."

**Juancho Hernangomez, Panathinaikos forward**

"We are focused on tomorrow’s game. Partizan lost an important game to Maccabi yesterday, where they actually played better. It will be a tough game. We are going there to fight and to get the win. The key for us is defense. They play at home, with their fans, and they have talented players. They can score at any moment, so we have to be aggressive defensively and stay together in a difficult environment."

### FC Bayern Munich vs. AS Monaco (20:30 CET)

**Svetislav Pesic, Bayern head coach**

"Monaco remains a favorite to reach the Final Four for me, after they were in last year’s final and the team shows a lot of continuity with few changes. They lost on Tuesday, but we all know how difficult it is to play in Kaunas, where Zalgiris is having a very strong season. So we’re not interested in that result. It will be a tough game and we still want to try to replicate our recent performances."

**Wenyen Gabriel, Bayern center**

"Monaco is a very talented team, we know that from the first game. I hope we keep our defensive identity and again give everything for a win."

### Paris Basketball vs. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (20:45 CET)

**Justin Robinson, Paris head coach**

"Obviously it's been a tough stretch in the EuroLeague. Up and down, trying to get over the hump. But this game is a huge test for us with Fener being the hottest team in the league right now. Great players, great coaching staff. For us, it's going to be a huge one, a huge moral victory for us as well. Just kind of seeing where we attest from the first game of the season to now and seeing if we can get them back for the loss that we had in Istanbul and get a win in Paris."

**Sarunas Jasikevicius, Fenerbahce head coach**

"When playing against Paris, the most important thing is their speed. And not to get involved in their basketball, play Fenerbahce basketball. We really struggled lately with rebounds, and this is something that we need to do because Paris is one of the best at offensive rebounds."

**Mikael Jantunen, Fenerbahce forward**

"It's going to be a tough game. Paris plays very high-paced basketball, and we've got to find ways to make their night uncomfortable. And a special evening, of course, going back after two great years to Paris. But all the focus is on the game, a big game from the team. And we're going to play a good game to get a win."

Top 10 EuroLeague players over 35

Experience, leadership, and clutch moments – these seasoned stars prove that age is just a number as they continue to shape games at the highest level.

The EuroLeague has long lived by the mantra that every possession matters. That philosophy is what makes each season so competitive, with every team capable of being pushed to the limit on any night.

This year is no different. With quality balanced across the league and a demanding schedule, surprises are always possible – any team can beat any other. In such a setting, games are rarely decided by talent alone. Instead, the difference is often found in the smallest details, and when margins are this thin, one quality stands out: experience.

Players who have faced the same situations time and again learn what truly matters in key moments. With experience comes calm, and that calm is why they are often trusted when games are on the line.

This season, some exceptional veterans are aging like fine wine, showing no signs of slowing down. With that in mind, Eurohoops presents the Top 10 EuroLeague players over 35.

These golden oldies are still delivering in the twilight of their career

All the intensity of the EuroLeague was on full display – right until the final seconds – as Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul defended its two-game lead at the top of the standings by grinding out a 90-92 victory at Paris Basketball.

Crazy finale sums up night of intensity as Fener downs Paris

All the intensity of the EuroLeague was on full display – right until the final seconds – as Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul defended its two-game lead at the top of the standings by grinding out a 90-92 victory at Paris Basketball.

'Hard-fought' doesn’t even begin to describe it. Indeed, the outcome could have easily gone the other way, as a crazy closing sequence of action offered a neat summation of an evening full of blood, sweat and tears in the manner that only the most competitive league in the world can offer.

The game looked almost decided when Talen Horton-Tucker sank free throws to make it 87-91 with 8 seconds remaining. But after a Paris timeout, Nadir Hifi instantly struck his third triple of the night, making it a 1-point game with 6 seconds still on the clock.

It was Fener’s turn to call for a timeout to set up a play and advance the ball, leading to a frantic few seconds: Wade Baldwin throw a hopeful inbounds pass in the direction of Horton-Tucker and Tarik Biberovic. The latter just caught the ball, but was falling out of bounds so he immediately offloaded straight to Paris forward Jeremy Morgan. He sent on a quick pass to Hifi, potentially setting up a game-winning shot, but Hifi couldn’t gather the ball cleanly and it dramatically spilled loose to Horton-Tucker, who was fouled with 0.3 seconds left.

After making the first free throw, Horton-Tucker deliberately missed the second, leaving Morgan with no time to do anything when he gathered the rebound as time expired, condemning Paris to another loss and allowing the reigning champ to escape with a victory from a game in which it had trailed by 16 late in the third quarter.

And at that moment, even visiting coach Saras Jasikevicius didn’t think his team would come away with the win.

“For three quarters we didn’t play the right way,” he admitted in the postgame press conference. “We didn’t slow them down defensively or play patient basketball offensively, we didn’t understand the game plan. I thought when we went 16 down \[winning\] would not be possible, I was a little bit pessimistic. But it was important to keep on fighting, to make it a game, and we actually did that pretty quickly.”

<script async src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>

That key period of the game, when Fener changed a 16-point deficit into a 2-point lead in just over 5 minutes, came during the final stages of the third quarter and the start of the fourth. With victory within its grasp, Paris lost its composure and committed three quick technical fouls, partly explaining why Biberovic was able to score 8 points in a row in the space of 96 seconds, with 5 of those coming from the foul line.

From then on, Fenerbahce’s senior statesmen took over as Biberovic, Horton-Tucker, Baldwin, Nando De Colo and Nicolo Melli steered the ship the rest of the way.

“When we went to a six-, seven-player rotation in the fourth quarter, everything became more clear,” explained the coach. “Wade was running the team really well, we found Tarik and Talen more easily, and everything was difficult for Paris at the end.

“When you make it a game, obviously there’s a lot of experience in our team. We got some big stops, we got some big shots. But we got a little bit lucky, there’s no question.”

One of those ‘big shots’ referred to by Jasikevicius was a smoothly struck corner three by De Colo with 77 seconds remaining, breaking an 83-83 tie and giving the visitors a lead they would never relinquish.

And the veteran backcourt star – making his sixth appearance of his second spell with Fenerbahce – demonstrated all the enthusiasm of an eager rookie as he reflected on the victory.

“It’s always tough to play back-to-back games, we know how the schedule goes, and it’s never easy to win a game in this championship,” said De Colo.

“We didn’t give up, we played as a team, we respected exactly what the coach wants on the court, and we’re really happy with the win. We need to be really happy because every win is important and it’s not easy to play against a team like Paris.

“We have big goals for the season, we work hard every day to make sure we improve our game, so I’m really happy to be part of this team.”

Monumental defensive effort sees Partizan overwhelm Panathinaikos 

Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade produced arguably its best performance of the season in a 78-62 home whitewash of Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens thanks to superb defense that forced 20 turnovers from the 2024 EuroLeague champions.

Partizan improved to 9-18 while Panathinaikos, which only managed 13 assists while shooting a mere 4-of-19 from deep, dropped to 16-11 as the battle for playoff spots keeps intensifying. The outcome will have done preciously little to boost Partizan’s postseason hopes, but it left the Greens in a cluster of teams vying for playoff and play-in berths, highlighting the Greek giant’s patchy form.

The rivals headed into the showdown in contrasting moods as Partizan came off a tough buzzer-beating loss at Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv while Panathinaikos were fresh from a very different fortune, having ground out last-gasp wins against Real Madrid and LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne.

One could be forgiven, however, for thinking it was the other way around as Partizan brought an abundance of energy onto the court, carving out a 22-19 lead at the end of the first quarter before engineering a 45-33 halftime advantage. Clearly feeling the ill of Kendrick Nunn’s continued absence, especially on offense, the Greens struggled on pretty much every possession in the second half and fell behind 68-42 early in the fourth.

The visitors then enjoyed their best spell of the match, forcing a 0-9 run before Partizan got out of sight and made sure there was to be no late drama. Cam Payne pulled the strings on offense and paced the home team on 18 points, 4 boards and 5 assists, while Sterling Brown and Isaac Bonga chipped in with 16 each, the latter also racking up 6 boards and 3 assists. Big man Bruno Fernando added 11 points to underline a smooth team effort, while TJ Shorts led Panathinaikos and all scorers on a game-high 21 points but finished as the only visiting player in double figures.

“The energy was amazing today and this win showed that we are capable of doing big things,” Bonga said in his postgame comments before making an interesting analogy on what it must feel like for visiting teams to play in the imposing Belgrade Arena. “We’ve all been in tough situations before as basketball players and if you come to the dungeon, you’ve got to be prepared to do battle,” the German forward pointed out. 

Payne credited the fans for their loud support and stressed that it was a much-needed win for Partizan after Tuesday’s heartbreaking defeat at Maccabi.

“A shout out to the fans, they did a great job tonight and gave us a lot of energy,” he said. “We came locked in on to the court, won a lot of 50-50 balls and it showed. They came here after a buzzer-beater win, while we had a buzzer-beater bummer, so we just had to make sure we stayed locked in through adversity.”

It was also a welcome win for head coach Joan Penarroya who seems to have steadied the ship on the back of a turbulent period after taking over from interim boss Mirko Ocokoljic, who stepped in following the resignation of the iconic Zeljko Obradovic.  

“It’s a great win for us,” said the Spanish tactician. “We played a complete game, so congratulations to my players and the supporters. We played with a lot of energy and consistency on defense, as controlling the defensive rebound allowed us to run. The team showed they can play good defense, while we also shared the ball well. We still need to improve a lot of things, but we are clearly moving in the right direction.”

It was a difficult outing for Panathinaikos head coach Ergin Ataman, who remained tight-lipped on Nunn’s return to action as his side continues to look a pale shadow of the team that won the competition in 2024 and reached the Final Four last season.

“We played terribly on offense, very bad,” the Turkish tactician said with a grim look on his face. “We committed too many turnovers and missed open shots, while Partizan played aggressively, so congratulations to them. We didn’t answer their physicality and maybe that was because we arrived two days after a tough game against Real Madrid, while still missing Kendrick Nunn.”

The Serbian team brushed aside the 2024 champs on the back of ironclad defense in a lop-sided contest

## Friday, February 6

### [Anadolu Efes Istanbul 92-82 Zalgiris Kaunas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/anadolu-efes-istanbul-zalgiris-kaunas/E2025/266/)

Efes scored the final 13 points of the game to beat the visiting Zalgiris 92-82 on Friday night. Efes swept the regular-season series against the Lithuanian side, improving to 8-19 on the season, while Zalgiris dropped to 15-12 and occupies ninth place in the standings after 27 rounds.

It was a game of runs, with Efes building a 10-point third-quarter lead only for Zalgiris to put together a 2-18 spurt and open a 57-63 advantage. Then, in the fourth quarter, Efes used an 11-0 run to take a 76-71 lead, but Zalgiris answered with a 3-11 spurt to retake the advantage before Efes finished the game with a 13-0 run. Jordan Loyd had a key triple in the final minute and finished with 19 points, while Saben Lee scored 6 of his 10 points in the game-ending run. Lee also dished 8 assists.

### [LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne 76-77 EA7 Emporio Armani Milan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/ldlc-asvel-villeurbanne-ea7-emporio-armani-milan/E2025/269/)

Milan defeated ASVEL in a hard-fought contest, escaping a late ASVEL rally to earn the 76-77 victory. With their third consecutive win, Peppe Poeta’s men improved to a winning record of 14-13, while lowly ASVEL falls to 7-20.

Though ASVEL made the brighter start and earned a lead in the opening period through solid team offense, its Italian opponent pushed back promptly, locking in at both ends to take a five-point advantage into halftime. They only widened the gap in the third, with Milan scoring as a unit to make it a double-digit differential. That didn’t stop ASVEL from taking it to the wire, hustling hard and coming to within a point with just seconds remaining, but ultimately coming up short in its final offense.

Marko Guduric played the starring role for Milan, adding 7 assists to his 18-point scoring performance. Quinn Ellis impressed also, recording 13 points and 5 boards to help his edge his team over the line. Highlighting the strong team performance, Armoni Brooks and Zach LeDay also scored in double digits on the night. Braian Angola led ASVEL in scoring with 23 points.

### [Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade 82-83 Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/crvena-zvezda-meridianbet-belgrade-maccabi-rapyd-tel-aviv/E2025/268/)

Maccabi ground out an impressive road win over Zvezda after a 2-13 run in the home straight proved vital, with the Israeli side having the last laugh in a dramatic rollercoaster which went down to the wire. Zvezda closed out the contest with a 6-0 run but Jordan Nwora’s deep two-pointer clanked off the iron at the death and the hosts were unable to put back the rebound in a jam-packed Belgrade Arena.

Zvezda saw and end to its five-game winning run and dropped to 16-11 while Maccabi improved to 12-15, keeping alive its slim postseason hopes after completing the double over Serbian opposition as it beat Partizan Mozart Bet Belgrade 95-93 at home on Tuesday.

Jimmy Clark paced Maccabi on 22 points while Jaylen Hoard chipped in with 15 and 7 boards. Roman Sorkin added 15 and 8 rebounds while O’Shae Brissett racked up 14 and 8 rebounds for the visitors, who prevailed despite losing the battle of the boards 38-40 and committing 18 turnovers against just 14 assists. At the other end, Nwora amassed 22 points but remained scoreless in the fourth quarter, while Jared Butler netted 16 and Chima Moneke scored 14.

### [Olympiacos Piraeus 109-77 Virtus Bologna](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/olympiacos-piraeus-virtus-bologna/E2025/270/)

Olympiacos got back to winning ways by crushing Virtus 109-77 at the Peace and Friendship Stadium on Friday night. The visitors started strong in a back-and-forth first quarter, but the hosts went on a 18-1 run in the second to open a comfortable double-digit lead which they maintained throughout.

Having recorded its fifth straight home victory, Olympiacos improved its record to 17-9. Meanwhile, Virtus suffered its fourth defeat in five games, dropping to 12-15.

As many as 11 Olympiacos players scored at least 5 points, with Sasha Vezenkov finishing the game on 20 and Tyler Dorsey bagging 18. For Virtus, Derrick Alston Jr. netted 16 points and Daniel Hackett had 14 against his former team.

In a Spanish derby, Barcelona returned to winning ways by topping Baskonia 91-97 at Buesa Arena in Round 27 on Friday. Barca improved to 17-10 in the standings and grabbed its eighth road victory of the season. Meanwhile, Baskonia, which had won eight of its last nine home games, dropped to 9-18.

Toko Shengelia and Joel Parra led the winners with 16 points apiece. Nico Laprovittola added 15 points while Will Clyburn and Dario Brizuela each had 14 for Barca. Mamadi Diakite led Baskonia with 16 points. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot added 12, Markus Howard had 11 while Kobi Simmons and Cytis Radzevicius each for 10 for the hosts, who led 27-17 at the end of the first quarter. Barca got within 51-48 at halftime, took a 68-76 margin after 30 minutes behind an outstanding Clyburn and kept a safe margin from that moment until the final buzzer.

### [Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade 78-62 Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/partizan-mozzart-bet-belgrade-panathinaikos-aktor-athens/E2025/265/)

A masterclass defensive performance saw Partizan brush Panathinaikos aside as the Serbian team registered only its third win in the last 12 games, improving to 9-18 while the Greens dropped to 16-11 after a dismal display at Belgrade Arena. Partizan led more or less from start to finish and having carved out a 45-33 halftime advantage, the hosts romped ahead 68-42 early in the fourth. Panathinaikos then enjoyed its best spell of the game, a 0-9 run, but Partizan quickly regained its composure and put the game beyond the visitors.

Cam Payne pulled the strings for Partizan on offense and paced the home team with 18 points, 4 boards and 5 assists, while Sterling Brown and Isaac Bonga chipped in with 16 each. Big man Bruno Fernando added 11 points to underline a smooth team effort, while TJ Shorts led Panathinaikos and all scorers on a game-high 21 points. He ended up as the only player in double figures for the visitors, who committed a staggering 20 turnovers against just 13 assists.

### [FC Bayern Munich 91-82 AS Monaco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/fc-bayern-munich-as-monaco/E2025/262/)

Bayern claimed its seventh win in the last nine games with a 91-82 victory over Monaco, a result that handed the visitors their fifth straight loss. Monaco led only three times all night, all of them in the second quarter, as Bayern kept last season’s EuroLeague runner-up at arm’s length for most of the contest. The hosts opened a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter at 81-67, but Mike James briefly made things interesting by knocking down 3 consecutive triples on three straight Monaco possessions to trim the margin to 84-76. Still, Svetislav Pesic’s group had enough down the stretch to close it out and improve to 12-15 on the season. Monaco fell to 15-12 as its poor form continued.

Andi Obst led Bayern with 19 points, knocking down 5 three-pointers, while Isiaha Mike added 12. Oscar da Silva and Neno Dimitrijevic chipped in 11 points apiece, and Wenyen Gabriel finished with 10 points and 8 rebounds. Mike James recorded his second-highest scoring performance of the season with 30 points for Monaco, with Nemanja Nedovic and Jaron Blossomgame contributing 12 points each.
