Nicolo Melli: 'We go back to Istanbul happy'
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.
