Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul has locked up the No. 2 seed in the EuroLeague Playoffs after beating FC Bayern Munich 77-89 at SAP Garden, with this result ending the German team’s top-six hopes and ensuring it will be playing in the Play-In Showdown, although its final position is not yet determined.

Fenerbahce secures two seed in playoffs with 77-89 win at Bayern

Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul has locked up the No. 2 seed in the EuroLeague Playoffs after beating FC Bayern Munich 77-89 at SAP Garden, with this result ending the German team’s top-six hopes and ensuring it will be playing in the Play-In Showdown, although its final position is not yet determined.

Nigel Hayes-Davis was Fenerbahce’s leading scorer with 24 points, followed by Errick McCollum, Wade Baldwin, Nicolo Melli and Tarik Biberovic, who all netted 11 points apiece. Bayern’s Carsen Edwards poured in a game-high 26 points, with Devin Booker adding 15 points.

Roared on by an impressive number of travelling fans, Fenerbahce came out the gates fast and leaned on the three-ball to open a 4-18 lead. In that run, McCollum and Melli struck twice each from deep, while Biberovic also hit from long range. Bayern started to respond midway through the quarter, but scores by Biberovic and Bonzie Colson allowed Fenerbahce to lead 13-28 after 10 minutes.

The gap kept growing early in the second, as Devon Hall drained a three, Khem Birch scored inside and Colson made the most of an Edwards turnover to make it a 19-point gap, 16-35. A couple of threes, first by Hayes-Davis and then by Melli, swelled it to a 24-point margin at 19-43 shortly after. Booker then started playmaking inside, dishing a couple of assists and scoring himself, before Nick Weiler-Babb’s triple cut it to 31-46 at halftime.

Birch’s score inside to start the third seemed like a bad omen, 31-48, but Bayern regrouped through Booker and Edwards to show signs of life, 37-51. However, Hayes-Davis drained his second three in quick succession to move to 17 points personal and make it a 17-point ballgame, 37-54. Biberovic, McCollum and Hayes-Davis combined to devastating effect as the visitors led 42-62, but Edwards and Niels Giffey reduced it to 51-64. Danko Brankovic split free throws with 18 seconds left in the period as Fenerbahce took a 52-68 lead into the fourth.

Edward started to take over for Bayern in the early stages of the fourth, scoring 11 points as the hosts made it a single-digit contest, 68-75. It was Edwards who responded to a Melli dunk to get Bayern within six, 71-77, but Fenerbahce hit back through Baldwin, Marko Guduric and Hayes-Davis as it became a 15-point ballgame again, 71-86, with 43 seconds remaining. Fenerbahce eventually saw its 77-89 victory over the line.

The visitors led for the whole game and went up by as many as 24 points, but they were made to sweat in the fourth quarter

Monaco holds off ASVEL, 78-83, to clinch home-court advantage for playoffs

AS Monaco survived a stern test from LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne at Astroballe and pulled away in the final minutes to win 78-83 and clinch fourth place at the end of the regular season and with it home-court advantage in the playoffs. Monaco improved to 21-13 on the season, while ASVEL bowed out of the competition for 2024-25 in 15th place with a 13-21 mark. Mike James paced the winners with 20 points, including 3 go-ahead free throws with 57 seconds to play, and 7 assists. Jordan Loyd added 16 points and 6 rebounds for Monaco. Neal Sako (20 points, 11 rebounds) and Andre Roberson (14 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks) stood out for ASVEL.  

Roberson was a defensive wall for ASVEL early with a block and a steal in the first 2 minutes. His fastbreak layup got the hosts ahead 5-2. Roberson bagged another steal and Maledon added free throws to keep ASVEL on top. Daniel Theis evened things from the line and Loyd's jumper gave Monaco its first lead, 7-9. Loyd capped a 0-7 Monaco run from the line, but Sako scored on three successive possessions to bring about a Monaco timeout. James fired in a four-point play and then fed Jaiteh for a three-point play. Jaiteh scored again on the buzzer to make it 15-22 after 10 minutes.  

Loyd extended the Monaco advantage to double figures with a three-pointer to start the second quarter and he soon added 3 more from the line. Sako remained a bright spot for ASVEL and Maledon drilled a three-pointer, but James came off the bench to keep Monaco in control. Roberson triggered a fastbreak with a block and David Lighty converted the layup to get ASVEL within 27-33.  Robertson recorded another impressive rejection and Lighty knocked down a three to make it a 5-point game. Loyd got Monaco back on track and reached halftime leading 35-41.

Shaquille Harrison scored, fed Roberson for a three and then scored again only for Monaco and James to answer each time. Theis dunked to make it 45-53. Maledon took charge for ASVEL with 6 straight points to get the hosts within 2. Sako completed the comeback with a block at one end and a bucket at the other. Nando De Colo put ASVEL ahead, 57-55, with a pair of free throws. A tip-in at the third-quarter buzzer by Diallo tied the score at 57-all.

The lead went back and forth as Jaiteh dunked and Paris Lee made a three. A three by Matt Strazel and basket by Diallo pushed Monaco back in front. Roberson grabbed a tough offensive board and made a nifty layup to keep ASVEL close, 65-66. Baskets by Theis and Diallo gave Monaco some breathing room. After a timeout, Maledon knocked down a three as ASVEL kept the pressure on. Maledon banked in a shot to put the hosts up 74-73 with 2 minutes remaining. Strazel split free throws to tie it and James made it 74-77 from the line with 57 seconds to play. Maledon made a tough score for the hosts, but Strazel sank free throws at the other end. Maledon missed a shot to tie it and Loyd iced the game from the line.

Mike James led Monaco with 20 points, including 5 free throws in the final minute

Panathinaikos BC fans have been given a boost ahead of the postseason as MVP candidate Kendrick Nunn has renewed his contract at OAKA until the summer of 2028.

Kendrick Nunn re-signs with Panathinaikos through 2028

[Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/panathinaikos-aktor-athens/pan/) fans have been given a boost ahead of the postseason as MVP candidate [Kendrick Nunn](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kendrick-nunn/012774/) has renewed his contract at OAKA until the summer of 2028.

Nunn, this season's [MVP of the Month for February](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/kendrick-nunn-february-mvp-interview-panathinaikos-bc/), has been on a tear in his second year in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, averaging a league-best 20.8 points per game, as well as 3.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals and a 19.9 PIR.

After helping lead Panathinaikos to its seventh EuroLeague championship last season, ending the club's 13-year wait to become European champion again, Nunn and his teammates are determined to lift back-to-back titles in Europe's premier club basketball competition.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Ο Κέντρικ Ναν στον Παναθηναϊκό AKTOR έως το 2028 ☘️ Η ΚΑΕ Παναθηναϊκός AKTOR ανακοινώνει την επέκταση της συνεργασίας της με τον Κέντρικ Ναν έως το καλοκαίρι του 2028. — Kendrick Nunn to remain with Panathinaikos AKTOR until 2028 ☘️ Panathinaikos BC AKTOR is pleased to… <a href="https://t.co/0xDZwC1b9e">pic.twitter.com/0xDZwC1b9e</a>&mdash; Panathinaikos BC (@Paobcgr) <a href="https://twitter.com/Paobcgr/status/1910298738293154148?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 10, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Nunn, 29, signed for Panathinaikos in late October 2023 and made his EuroLeague debut on November 10, 2023. It took him a few games to get acclimatized, but a 19-point performance at Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade in his fifth appearance was a sign of things to come.

Since that Round 11 clash at Partizan, Nunn scored in double figures in 28 of his next 31 appearances, including averaging 19.2 points in the playoffs and 17.5 points at the Final Four, as the Greens secured Europe's crown. He was named to the All-EuroLeague First Team at the end of the playoffs.

The former NBA guard has continued that level of consistency in this current campaign by pouring in 10 points or more in 29 of his 32 games in 2024-25. Both Nunn and Panathinaikos will be hoping that a similar end to last season is on the cards as they attempt to bring an eighth star to OAKA.

Heading into Round 34, the last round of the 2024-25 EuroLeague Regular Season, the seeding for all 10 postseason places are still to be decided.

A EuroLeague regular-season finale unlike anything seen before

For 25 years, the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague has provided memorable moments, immeasurable passion, thrill and drama as the top teams on the European continent have battled their way towards capturing basketball glory.

Now, the league’s famous ’Every Game Matters’ mantra is taking its meaning to another level, as we are witnessing something that has never happened before, confirming the EuroLeague's status as the most competitive league in the world.

For the first time in 25 years, with one round to go, of all the places in the standings that secure progress to the next elimination phase, not a single one has been decided and every one of them will be settled in the final round.

No matter what the format of the competition has been over the last quarter-century, at least one team had clinched first or second place, or was locked into third or fourth place in the standings before the final round.

Whether it was the current round-robin league format played since the 2016-17 season, or Top 16 groups where teams battled for playoffs spots, there was always at least one team – and sometimes up to five – that were certain of their playoff seeding.

Or even during the times when Top 16 winners went directly to the Final Four, or the inaugural season when the regular season was followed by the eighthfinals, there was always at least one group winner before the final round of the group stage.

Not this season.

The crazy finish to the 2024-25 regular season is simply a crescendo of the most competitive season witnessed at the elite level of basketball competition.

This season, over the 33 rounds to this point, there were eight different teams that have occupied first place in the standings at the end of the round. That is one team short of half the league.

There have been as many as 13 changes in first place, and it is enough to go back just to early March to learn that since the finish of Round 27, there have been 10 different teams that have occupied one of the top-six spots in the standings, which lead directly to the EuroLeague Playoffs.

It is only natural that such a EuroLeague season, which has displayed unlimited competitiveness, ends this Thursday and Friday with Round 34, where eight of nine games will be determining postseason seedings.

Round 34 is going to be packed with drama on Thursday and Friday

Frankie starts by explaining why he is staying away from players whose teams have already been eliminated and then issues a heartfelt thank you to three of his favorite players from the season who won't suit up for him again: [Theo Maledon](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/theo-maledon/007027/), [Roman Sorkin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/roman-sorkin/011219/) and [David McCormack](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/david-mccormack/013386/). Vasiliki continues with an analysis of the Olympiacos Piraeus backcourt situation and which players she sees on the rise.

While both Frankie and Vasiliki see eye to eye on their coaches and several players for Round 34, it’s interesting to hear why they move in different directions on the rest of the roster. This week the Round begins at 20:00 CEST with games tipping off simultaneously in Germany and France, so make sure to have your lineups finalized by then. And, as always, good luck, fantasy fans.
