It did not look pretty, but Anadolu Efes Istanbul managed to snap a three-game losing streak despite star leader Shane Larkin going down in the early stages. A major reason for that was a career night by Isaia Cordinier.

After Larkin suffered an apparent groin injury late in the first quarter, it was the French guard who not only stepped up but also bounced back with 26 points in Efes’ 74-72 win over FC Bayern Munich.

Cordinier career night helps Efes off-set Larkin injury, snap losing skid

It did not look pretty, but Anadolu Efes Istanbul managed to snap a three-game losing streak despite star leader Shane Larkin going down in the early stages. A major reason for that was a career night by Isaia Cordinier.

After Larkin suffered an apparent groin injury late in the first quarter, it was the French guard who not only stepped up but also bounced back with 26 points in Efes’ 74-72 win over FC Bayern Munich.

“We needed that one,” said Cordinier, referring to Efes having lost the previous three games and five of the last six, before now improving to 4-7.

“The atmosphere was great to help us get going. We stayed together down the stretch, that is what was most important. In the last games, when the other team had runs, we kind of shut off, but today we regrouped and stayed together and finally got the win that we needed.”

Cordinier registered a new personal scoring record with his 26-point outburst. He also contributed 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals for a PIR of 29. And all that came after he had combined for 4 points and a -3 PIR over the last two games.

“I tried to stay ready. We have so much talent on this team. Anybody can have a night like that,” Cordinier said. “Unfortunately with Shane out, I wanted to be a little more aggressive offensively and just be me. I just try to be me, take what the game is giving me and try to make winning plays.”

Efes head coach Igor Kokoskov said he and his coaching staff were prepared for a lot of things, but not losing Larkin.

“It’s no secret that Shane Larkin is the face of the franchise. He’s our best player and main offensive weapon. We were not prepared for losing Shane Larkin. But the game is so fast, and our mantra for this whole season is ‘Next man up’,” Kokoskov said.

“When your best player leaves the game, a lot of guys have to step up. Somebody has to take more responsibility and that was Cordinier tonight.”

Kokoskov was happy his team finally broke through to win a game - though there were plenty of chances to decide it earlier.

“The effort was there. We played hard. We have to play smarter. We have way too many turnovers. On two occasions we were up by 15. With a couple of smart decisions, we should be up 20 and just close the game way earlier to not give them a chance to come back,” the coach said.

Efes reeled off a 16-0 run to lead 16-5, but soon the game was tied 19-19 and Bayern was up 26-27. The home side recaptured control and built a 48-34 cushion early in the third quarter. After Bayern fought back to make it 52-46, Efes once again thought it had grasped control with a 62-47 advantage early in the final quarter. But Bayern raced back with three three-pointers and eight points from Oscar da Silva, closing the gap to 68-64. A triple and later free throw from Stefan Jovic had Bayern within 74-72 inside the final minute.

But in the final possession, Spencer Dinwiddie missed a three-pointer, Vladimir Lucic’s put-back attempt was just off and Efes escaped.

Bayern’s assistant coach TJ Parker, who was filling in for ill head coach Gordie Herbert, knows there were good and bad parts of the game.

“We fought in the fourth quarter. Not much to say about the beginning of the game. We were down 15 points and we came back. That is always a good sign,” said Parker, whose team was playing the first of seven consecutive road games in the EuroLeague.

Isiaha Mike’s 15 points and 11 from Dinwiddie were not enough as Bayern was swept in the double round to fall to 5-6.

The game was played at the Antalya Sports Hall in Antalya as part of Efes’ wider strategic initiative to expand the club’s reach beyond Istanbul.

“We are ready and focused for every game but I could tell it was something special - a change of environment, coming to Antalya, feeling the fuel coming from the fans and the energy from the crowd. That helped us a lot,” Kokoskov said.

Bayern just miss coming back from 15 down in fourth.


Anadolu Efes Istanbul v FC Bayern Munich (2025-11-14T17:00:00.000Z)

Against Zalgiris, Dubai claimed a 95-89 victory with Mfiondu Kabengele returning to the lineup after missing the previous two games due to an injury. He had a double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Aleksa Avramovic scored 17 points.



Dubai’s returnees proved pivotal to complete perfect week

Dubai Basketball faced a tough and challenging double-game week. Although both matches were at home, they hosted two of the most dangerous teams in the competition: Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade and Zalgiris Kaunas. Both visitors were occupying the top spots in the standings, which made this week an extremely difficult mission for the host.

Dubai started the week with a remarkable 102-86 win against Crvena Zvezda, also celebrating the return of guard Aleksa Avramovic, who scored 17 points in 21 minutes after not being able to play a single game until Round 10.

Against Zalgiris, Dubai was able to celebrate twice again, as it claimed a convincing 95-89 victory with Mfiondu Kabengele returning to the lineup after missing the previous two games due to an injury.

And, just as happened with Avramovic earlier in the week, Kabengele stood out on his return with a terrific performance.

“I'm so confident in this team, we had very good chemistry,” Avramovic enthused after the game. “We missed a lot of players that are injured, others are coming from injuries like me, Mfiondu and \[Davis\] Bertans. But we have a lot of people, we fortunately have a very deep roster, and we can handle it.”

Kabengele finished with a fantastic double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds, totaling a PIR of 26. Avramovic, in his second game, once again scored with ease (16 points) and handed out 6 assists for a total PIR of 27. Both were crucial for Dubai to come back in a game that had become a nightmare in the first quarter, during which they trailed by as many as 13 points, 8-21.

“The first quarter was a disaster, it was terrible,” Dubai head coach Jurica Golemac admitted. “We allowed 34 points, and we played very soft. In the next three quarters, we stepped up. We didn't turn the ball over. We had it very clear where we wanted to attack them, and we were executing good.

“Congratulations to the guys, because they showed big character. When we were down, we didn't give up. And today, the fans were amazing. They were involved in the game for 40 minutes.”

The turning point took place early in the second period, when an 11-0 run got Dubai back into the game, and within 45-48 at halftime. And then, after the break, Kabengele and Avramovic started the show, fueling a 16-0 spurt that turned the game upside down.

“Probably just communication,” reasoned Kabengele when asked the reasons for his team’s transformation in the second half.

“\[Until then\] we got lost in their slips, their ball screens. They got to the paint much easier, so in the last three quarters we just focused on defense, communicating, and multiple efforts, and I feel like it became contagious throughout every quarter, and we kept growing and growing, and we were able to keep our lead.”

Kabengele and Avramovic combined for 19 points in the third quarter, helping Dubai to amass a double-digit lead early in the last period. Even though Zalgiris never gave up and managed to get within a single possession in the last minute, energy was on Dubai’s side for good. And Kabengele felt it.

“I remember I was boxing out,” he answered, recalling the moment in which he realized the win was possible. “I think it was the third or the fourth quarter and \[Awudu\] Abass came and just swooped in and took the rebound and pushed the break. That's when I realized we were connected, invested in one accord, so that moment when the guard started crashing the glass, boxing out, because they're a good rebounding team, that's when I knew.”

Dubai ended up scoring 95 points against the best defense so far in the competition, capping a magic week in which it averaged 98.5. And that means a lot for a club that is playing for the first time at an elite level, a club that wants to dream big.

“\[These wins are\] very important to make us see that we can. We can play with everybody,” remarked Golemac. “But on the other hand, it doesn't mean anything. We need to analyze. We need to try to keep the good things, and we need to be better.”

“Overall, we played a very organized game,” Avramovic added. “A double win in this double week is important. We are back on track. I don't know if we are now top 10, top 12, I don't know, honestly, how are the standings. But this is the way we need to play if we want to achieve something big.”

Kabengele and Avramovic led Dubai over Zalgiris with PIRs of 26 and 27, respectively

Efes built a 15-point lead early in the fourth quarter but Bayern fought back and missed two shots in the final possession, as the Turkish side improved to 4-7 after losing five of the six previous games. Isaia Cordinier scored a career-high 26 points and Roland Smits had 15 points in the win. However, the triumph had a bitter aftertaste as Efes star Shane Larkin went down with a groin injury late in the first quarter and did not return. Bayern was swept in the double rounder and fell to 5-6 despite Isiaha Mike scoring 15 points.

ASVEL snapped a four-game losing streak and improved to 3-8 with a gritty 88-87 home win over Partizan, which dropped to 4-7 after its patchy form continued. The Serbian side committed 17 turnovers and shot a poor 10-of-32 from downtown in a below-par performance.

ASVEL made a fast and furious start, carving out a 16-2 lead thanks to a barrage of fast breaks. The French outfit stayed in control throughout the first half to engineer a 42-36 advantage at halftime. Partizan was able to draw level, 44-44, early in the third but a four-point play by Glynn Watson ignited an 11-0 ASVEL run which put the home team back in the driving seat. The visitors found another gear in the fourth to nose ahead 71-73. In a hectic home straight, however, ASVEL had the last laugh to clinch the rollercoaster and give its noisy fans something to cheer about.

Watson and Zachary Seljaas paced ASVEL on 18 points apiece while David Lighty chipped in with 16. Shaquille Harrison scored 12 and Armel Traore posted 11 for the home team. At the other end, Sterling Brown led Partizan on a game-high 20 points while Duane Washington netted 19 and Dylan Osetkowski amassed 16 for Partizan.

EA7 Emporio Armani Milan completed a perfect double-round week by edging Olympiacos Piraeus 88-87 at Unipol Forum on Friday night. Despite missing six players and head coach Ettore Messina, the hosts started strong and secured a 47-43 cushion at halftime. Milan tightened up its defense in the third quarter, holding the Reds to just 13 points and opening a 67-56 lead. Olympiacos pushed for a late comeback and outscored Milan 21-31 in the fourth, but it wasn’t enough to snatch the win. The Italian side extended its winning streak to four games and improved its record to 6-5, with the visitors dropping to 7-4. Quinn Ellis paced Milan with 16 points, Armoni Brooks netted 15 and Devin Booker added 13. Alec Peters led all scorers with 27 points, followed by Tyler Dorsey, who scored 25 in defeat.

Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade moved back into a share of first place after a well-deserved 91-79 home win over Monaco. The result lifted the winners to 8-3 and dropped Monaco to 6-5 after a second straight tough loss in the Serbian capital, following Tuesday’s dramatic 78-76 defeat to Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade.

The lead kept changing hands in a lively first quarter with Monaco nosing ahead 23-25 lead after the opening 10 minutes, courtesy of good work from Alpha Diallo and Mike James who combined for 16 points. Monaco then pulled away into a 28-37 lead midway through the second and although Zvezda hit back with a 12-3 run to draw level, 40-40, the visitors were ahead 42-46 at halftime. Good shooting from Ognjen Dobric kept Zvezda going throughout the third quarter and the hosts edged into a 65-64 lead ahead of the final 10 minutes. In a rugged and physical final period, Zvezda prevailed on the back of an inspired solo effort from its latest acquisition Jared Butler.

Dobric paced Zvezda as he matched his career-high with 22 points while Butler chipped in 20. Semi Ojeleye poured 14 points and Codi Miller-McIntyre added 12 for the hosts, who shot 12-of-18 from downtown. James topped Monaco on 18 points, Elie Okobo scored 16 and Jaron Blossomgame netted 11 for the visitors.

In a meeting of the reigning EuroLeague and EuroCup champions, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul grinded out at 74-68 victory over Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv.

Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv earned its third win of the season on Thursday night, when it overcame Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, 89-83. The teams went back-and-forth since the beginning of the game, with Maccabi earning the early lead. Despite the hosts’ consistent scoring, Baskonia refused to go away. Timothe-Luwawu-Cabarrot kept his team in the game, scoring in multiple ways. Midway through the third quarter, the visitors enjoyed an offensive run that edged them closer, before levelling the game in the final minute of the third. Maccabi found a second wind shortly after the final period began however, which Paolo Galbiati’s men couldn’t deal with.

T.J. Leaf played a major role in the victory, adding 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals to a 19-point scoring performance. Jaylen Hoard’s 17-point, 11-board double-double added a hefty punch for the Israeli team, while Jimmy Clark, Lonnie Walker, Roman Sorkin and Jeff Dowtin also finished in double digits. The result moves both teams to 3-8 for the season, as they attempt to climb from the bottom end of table.

Injury report, Round 11: Milan missing Messina and five players; Parker out for Partizan

Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv forward TJ Leaf elevated his team over Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, 89-83, in Round 11 of the EuroLeague

T.J. Leaf lifts Maccabi over embattled Baskonia

“Today, we had lapses when we didn’t look like a team, but we got the win and that’s all that matters,” said T.J. Leaf, when asked about Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv’s third win of the season on Thursday night. Despite his team-first comments, the forward will be pleased with the way he elevated his team over Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, 89-83.

Coming into this game at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall, Leaf averaged 9 points, 5 rebounds and an assist over 10 games. He had reached double figures in scoring just three times. In his team’s recent loss to Fenerbahce, Leaf logged only 6 points and 5 boards, only to explode offensively two days later.

Leaf added 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals to a 19-point scoring performance. He was perfect from the three-point line, making all 3 of his attempts from beyond the arc. Despite being such an active participant, he committed just a single turnover. Maccabi fans will hope that the performance marks something of a breakout and that the big man can sustain that level of performance for the rest of the campaign.

The teams went back and forth from opening tip, with Maccabi earning the early advantage. Despite the hosts’ consistent scoring, Baskonia refused to go away. Timothe-Luwawu-Cabarrot kept his team in the game for a while, through versatile scoring. Midway through the third quarter, the visitors enjoyed an offensive run that edged them closer, before levelling the game in the final minute of the third.

However, Maccabi found a second wind shortly after the final period began, which Paolo Galbiati’s men couldn’t deal with. Baskonia’s head coach felt his team struggled with their opponent’s style of play.

“Maccabi is one of the best teams on offensive rebounds. They are aggressive, also dirty and they take advantage of that,” Galbiati said. “Unfortunately, we gave them too many second opportunities because our defense was not perfect. On offense, we can do better, but it was not a bad game. We missed wide-open shots, it’s part of the game.”

Though he stood out, Leaf certainly wasn’t alone in earning the win. Jaylen Hoard’s 17-point, 11-board double-double added a hefty punch for the Maccabi team, while Jimmy Clark, Lonnie Walker, Roman Sorkin and  Jeff Dowtin also finished in double digits.

Coach Oded Kattash did not understate how big a victory it is and seemed satisfied by his team's performance for the majority of the contest.

“Very important and good win for us,” Kattash stated. “I liked the way we reacted and executed the game-plan. Most of the game, we played the right way, but lost confidence a little bit in the second half. It wasn’t easy for us to close the game, but hopefully we gain confidence. We have to keep improving.”

The result moves both teams to 3-8 for the season, as they attempt to climb from the bottom end of table. Maccabi will hope to carry its newly-found momentum to Basketball City, where it faces Virtus Bologna next Friday. Baskonia will face a tough clash with FC Bayern Munich on the same night.

Kenneth Faried was dominant again in Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens’s 77-87 win at Real Madrid, this time against Edy Tavares – one of the finest bigs in EuroLeague history.

Faried provides the ‘medicine’ as Panathinaikos completes week with statement win

Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens kicked off the 2025-26 season with three top centers on its roster in Richaun Holmes, Mathias Lessort and Omer Yurtseven. Yet, luck has not been on its side, with Holmes and Yurtseven suffering respective injuries and the much-anticipated comeback of Lessort being postponed due to a setback.

The Greens looked under the weather in an 86-68 thrashing at the hands of Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade last week, but the cure would come all the way from Taiwan in the form of Kenneth Faried.

The 35-year-old landed in Athens earlier this week and spent just one day practicing with his new teammates before hitting the road. Panathinaikos was desperate for an energy boost and Faried provided just that, taking the EuroLeague by storm in his first week as a PAO player.

After recording a double-double of 17 points and 10 assists away at Paris Basketball, Faried was dominant again in Panathinaikos’s 77-87 win at Real Madrid, this time against Edy Tavares – one of the finest bigs in EuroLeague history.

“Our management did a great job of finding Kenneth Faried,” Ergin Ataman told EuroLeague TV after the game. “He was like a medicine for us, because in the games that we lost, we played without centers. It’s very difficult to play with only \[Konstantinos\] Mitoglou on the 5. With Faried, we found the aggressiveness on defense and on offense, we found the balance on the boards and offensive rebounds. I think he was the key for this mental change and now the team is more comfortable and we feel much better.”

Faried did everything on the floor, producing a Lessort-esque outing on Thursday night. He went 6-for-8 from inside the arc and 4-for-6 from the free-throw line to end the game on 16 points, including back-to-back monster dunks in front of Tavares.

“\[This last week has been a\] rollercoaster,” Faried admitted on EuroLeague TV. “I flew in from Taiwan to Greece. Got a practice there with my teammates. Next thing I know, I’m playing two EuroLeague games now, and we won both, so it’s a happy moment.”

He also grabbed 8 rebounds, 4 of which were on the offensive end to provide his team with valuable extra possessions.

“For me, as a basketball player and just as an individual, I try to work my tail off every day and just try to stay in the best shape,” he added. “Trying to showcase that it doesn’t matter your height, it doesn’t matter how old you are even. If you can still play this game, you can still play this game.”

Faried was assisted on the court by a sublime TJ Shorts, who pulled off his finest performance in a green shirt. Following a slow start to his spell in Greece, the Panathinaikos guard ended the game on a season-high 19 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds.

“Slowly finding my rhythm, slowly finding my place,” Shorts said after the game. “Like I said earlier in Paris, gaining the trust of the coach and taking steps in that direction. And this is the result.”

Coming into the double-round week on the back of three straight road losses, Panathinaikos received a huge boost in morale by grabbing a statement victory over a fellow title contender. The Greens tightened up their defense and conceded the fewest points they've allowed in a EuroLeague game this season away at a Real Madrid side that had won all of its first five home games of the campaign.

“\[Winning two road games in a double-round week\] is huge,” Shorts noted. “It’s a confidence booster. It shows that we can play at the highest level when we are focused. Playing obviously against a very experienced team, a very great team in a hostile environment. And being able to pull out a win on the back half of the double week is huge for our confidence going forward.”

With Faried and Shorts bringing in the energy, Panathinaikos improved its record to 7-4. And taking into account that all its next three games are set to take place at Telekom Center Athens, Ataman’s team has what it needs to keep its momentum going.

Nadir Hifi found the way to make the difference in what will go down in history as one of the most furious finishes this season as Paris ended up edging Valencia 90-86 in come-from-behind fashion.

Hifi made things happen down the stretch 

It was looking like a rough night for Paris Basketball in general and for [Nadir Hifi](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/nadir-hifi/012640/) in particular. Valencia Basket came with a game plan to stop him, which worked really well for the best part of the game. However, Hifi found the way to make the difference in what will go down in history as one of the most furious finishes this season as Paris ended up edging Valencia 90-86 in come-from-behind fashion.

Valencia head coach Pedro Martinez started defensive specialist [Isaac Nogues](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/isaac-nogues/010162/) to guard Hifi, using his physicality and energy against him. After Nogues committed up 2 quick fouls, [Brancou Badio](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/brancou-badio/007527/) and [Omari Moore](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/omari-moore/014115/) took turns on Hifi, who could not find a way to the basket. Paris did not find answers elsewhere, reaching halftime with a poor three-point shooting percentage (3 of 18, 16.7% 3FG). Valencia outrebounded Paris by 16-24 in the first half, including 9 offensive boards.

After a surprisingly low-scoring first quarter (15-14), Valencia found its rhythm to break a club record. [Josep Puerto](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/josep-puerto/006643/) struck three times from downtown and everyone followed, as Valencia made 6 of 8 three-point shots in the second quarter to reach the 35-point mark. Its previous highest score in the second quarter of a EuroLeague game was 32 points against Zalgiris Kaunas on October 27, 2023, en route to a 72-87 road victory.

From 79-86 to 90-86, Paris Basketball finished its Round 11 game against Valencia with an 11-0 run! 

Paris rallies past Valencia

Valencia managed to keep the lead throughout much of the second half. By the time [Nate Reuvers](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/nathan-reuvers/012738/) became the eighth Valencia player to sink a three-pointer, the visitors seemed to have the win in its bag, leading 79-86 with less than 3 minutes remaining. Hifi, however, had other ideas and found ways to be effective on offense right when it mattered most.

He got help, of course. [Jeremy Morgan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/jeremy-morgan/010431/) drained a highly contested three-pointer over [Darius Thompson](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/darius-thompson/011078/)'s defense. After Badio missed at the other end, Hifi finished a four-chance Paris offense by drawing a three-point shooting foul. He made all three attempts to get his team within 2 points. On Paris's next offense, Hifi buried his trademark step-back three-pointer to give Paris a 87-86 lead. The hosts had not lead since [Mouhamed Faye](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/mouhamed-faye/012403/)'s alley-oop dunk made it 19-17.

It all came down to the final play. Hifi held the ball, looking to be fouled. When it was evident that Valencia would not send him to the line, he found [Sebastian Herrera](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/sebastian-herrera/012611/) for a catch-and-shoot three-point shot. Nothing but net. Paris finished the game on an 11-0 run to beat Valencia and snap a four-game losing streak.

"We made a stop. We ran it. After that, Seba \[Herrera\] made a crazy shot. Thank you, Seba!," Hifi said after the game.

Hifi had 6 points an an assist in that run. He did not have his best shooting night, making just 4 of 15 field goal attempts, but ended up with 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists for a PIR of 16.

"It was very difficult for us to get our rhythm against a very good team. We just found a way to win this game. We made a lot of mistakes. I don't know how we won this game, but finally we found a way. We are super happy for this win," Hifi said. 

"First, I didn't have a good game. Yes, I made very big shots to lead it but I made too many mistakes and got frustrated with my teammates. We are a team. We have been together for 40 minutes. I'm very proud of this."

Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade swiftly got back to winning ways with a sound 91-79 victory against visiting AS Monaco to improve to 8-3 after Ognjen Dobric and the club’s latest acquisition Jared Butler came up big in their team’s hour of need. 

Dobric, Butler power Crvena Zvezda to impressive win over Monaco

Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade swiftly got back to winning ways with a sound 91-79 victory against visiting AS Monaco to improve to 8-3 after Ognjen Dobric and the club’s latest acquisition Jared Butler came up big in their team’s hour of need.

With seven major players absent through injury, Zvezda dug deep to brush Monaco aside on the back of an electrifying fourth quarter as Dobric matched his career-high with 22 points and Butler, who joined Zvezda three weeks ago, poured in 20 to delight a passionate home crowd inside the Belgrade Arena.

With big man Chima Moneke the latest casualty sidelined by a groin injury, a shorthanded Zvezda held its own throughout the opening three quarters and then hit top gear in the fourth, bouncing back from the previous round’s reverse at Dubai Basketball.

Trailing 42-46 at halftime, Zvezda fought back in the third quarter on the back of fantastic shooting from Dobric, and Butler took over the mantle in the fourth as he was unstoppable on offense. The hosts shot an enviable 12-of-18 from downtown and made amends for hitting a mere 15-of-27 from the foul line, having also dished out 20 assists against just 11 turnovers.

Dobric, who was cold-shouldered and almost reduced to a perennial bench warmer by Coach Sasa Obradovic’s predecessor Ioannis Sfairopoulos, seems to be enjoying a second lease of life as he served up a vintage display. Shooting 7-of-9 from the floor and 4-of-4 from the line, Dobric turned the tide in the third quarter before Butler sealed the win with a combination of dazzling layups and long-range shots down the stretch.

“We put a whole lot of energy out on the court and showed a totally different face than we did in the previous game,” Dobric said in his postgame comments. “We deserved to win after putting up a great fight, it’s a big one for us and I hope we’re going to continue like this.”

Obradovic, who has rejuvenated his boyhood club Zvezda after taking over from Sfairopoulos after a 0-2 start, heaped praise on his men after they overcame adversity to stay among the top teams in Europe’s premier club competition. 

“Congrats to my team, they did an amazing job, especially in the second half,” he said. “Without seven major players on the roster, we found a way to win and I am really proud of my guys. We have now raised the bar and expectations will be running high, but we’ll be up for it. I know what I’ve got on this roster in terms of talent and ability, so we just have to keep working hard and hopefully stay healthy,” he added.

The duo delivered their best performances of the season as the Serbian team produced a strong fourth quarter 

Fenerbahce BEKO Istanbul rolled to a third successive victory with a disciplined performance against Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv on the way to a 74-68 victory.

Defense dominated offense as Fenerbahce downed Hapoel

Thursday’s Round 11 showdown between reigning champ Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul and league leader Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv was always likely to provide a clash of styles, with the Turkish team’s organised and intense defense facing the high-octane and varied offense of former coach Dimitris Itoudis’s men.

The scoreline makes it clear which approach prevailed, as Fenerbahce rolled to a third successive victory with a disciplined performance that limited the usually high-scoring visitors to just 26 field goal conversions on the way to a 74-68 victory.

Hapoel came into the game with a league-best average of 93.2 points per game, ranking second in both two-point shooting (59.7%) and from beyond the arc (41%), and coming off a season-high 114 points in a thrilling win over Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz just two days earlier.

But that wouldn’t happen this time as, right from the beginning, it became the slow-paced, low-tempo kind of game that best suited Fenerbahce, with both teams failing to score any points in the first 3 minutes as defenses dominated.

There were occasional glimpses of Hapoel’s offensive capability, with Elijah Bryant nailing a three-pointer and Johnathan Motley adding a trademark mid-range strike, but on the whole, it was a low-scoring first quarter with the teams combining for just 10 field goal conversions on 32 attempts.

It stayed that way for the start of the second quarter, with neither team managing a field goal for nearly 4 minutes as the scoreboard was only bothered by a small trickle of free throws. And the same pattern stayed in place for the remainder of the first half, which ended with Hapoel edging a 27-28 lead.

Eventually Fenerbahce’s high-quality defense had its reward at the other end with similarly productive offense, after the switch was flicked at the start of the third quarter: Tarik Biberovic and Onuralp Bitim both struck three-pointers while Talen Horton-Tucker scored twice inside during a 14-2 run over the course of less than 5 minutes, giving the Turkish team a double-digit advantage and a degree of control.

Back-to-back three-pointers from Bonzie Colson then kept the home team rolling with a 10-point lead heading into the final period, and although Hapoel threatened to fight back with a burst of scoring from Bryant and Vasilije Micic, Fener’s defense again came to the fore by holding the visitor scoreless for the final 2 minutes.

The Turkish team’s leading scorer on the night was Horton-Tucker with 15 points, and he admitted the game plan was focused on defensive effort.

“Coach told us we had to come out and be physical,” he told [EuroLeague.TV](http://EuroLeague.TV). “We had to play with grit and physicality. Being able to stay physical with them and try to stop them – we know they’re a high-scoring team, so being able to play defense to a high level and stop them was the most important thing and we did that.”

Fenerbahce fans also certainly played their part in a game that had been relocated to Munich but still felt very much like a home game for the Turkish team, considering the large and vocal support they received inside the SAP Garden.

And Horton-Tucker was grateful for that backing, which was also evident in Tuesday’s win over Maccabi, saying: “We miss our fans in Istanbul, but the fans here in Munich were amazing. They gave us a lot of energy and I’m happy we pulled off a double week.”

With three straight wins, Fenerbahce’s early-season troubles appear to be a thing of the past, and the reigning champion is preparing to mount another serious title assault.

The champs held on to top the league-leaders
