AS Monaco center Donatas Motiejunas spoke to EuroLeague TV after his team's Game 2 win against Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul in the 2023-24 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs.

Donatas Motiejunas, Monaco: 'It was a rollercoaster'

Barça's focus could be on better ball control and perhaps improved play inside the paint after converting just 18 of its 38 two-point attempts in the 75-77 defeat, in which the Reds were able to enjoy a Game 1 triumph despite a relatively quiet night from key offensive performers Thomas Walkup and Alec Peters.

As so often this term, Nigel Hayes-Davis was the architect of a series-opener success for Fenerbahce, combining 19 points with 7 rebounds in nearly 40 minutes, whereas improved perimeter defense could be a priority for Monaco, who target greater accuracy in its own deep game after going just 8-for-27.

The 2023-24 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs feature some of the signature dunkers of the entire competition.

Playoff Dunkers: Vesely vs. McKissic

Dunks may only count as two points, but they have untold extra value for firing up the dunker's team and demoralizing the opponent. When you talk about players whose slam dunks have lit up highlight reels for years, you couldn't do much better than Jan Vesely of FC Barcelona and Shaquille McKissic of Olympiacos Piraeus. Their teams are now going head-to-head for a spot in the 2024 Final Four in Berlin. Watch for Jan or Shaq to take it above the rim and change the momentum in this series!

Real Madrid v Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz (2024-04-25T19:00:00.000Z)

Real delivered a serious and focused performance in the opening encounter thanks to a collective effort, with 11 different players scoring at least 2 field goals. Against that formidable depth, Baskonia hope key scorer Markus Howard recovers to full fitness after a knee injury restricted him to just 18 minutes of action.

Maccabi's 87-91 win in Game 1 was powered by backcourt duo Lorenzo Brown and Wade Baldwin, although but the latter had retreat early with a leg injury. The Greens need a bounce-back performance from Kendrick Nunn after he scored just 8 points, but may again count on Kostas Sloukas after his double-double.
