Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul recorded back-to-back wins in Rounds 18 and 19 this week. On Tuesday, Fenerbahce allowed Panathinaikos Athens to pull down 26 offensive rebounds. On Thursday, Coach Dimitris Itoudis's team fixed the problem.
Fenerbahce defeated FC Bayern Munich 79-71 and rebounds were a big part of it. The hosts outrebounded Bayern 44-25 and that was the key factor in the game. Johnathan Motley finished the game with 17 rebounds, a new career-high and one shy of this season's best mark, shared by Walter Tavares of Real Madrid and Youssoupha Fall of LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, who grabbed 18 apiece against AS Monaco and FC Barcelona, respectively.
