Crvena Zvezda jerseys to be auctioned off for a good cause

This season Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade will wear jerseys during its road games in Spain that feature the name of the Delije Foundation, a charity organization, on their chest. All for a very good cause, helping number of people in need.

Of its four games on Spanish soil this season, Zvezda will play two in its red-and-white uniforms, and two in its red jersey, but all bearing the foundation's logo.

At the end of the season, all game-worn jerseys will be auctioned off, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Delije Foundation, which has organized hundreds of successful charity events over the past two decades.

The initiative will launch on Friday night when Zvezda visits Valencia Basket.

Crvena Zvezda will have their away jerseys help people in need

Stefan Djordjevic loves basketball but the action on the hardcourt is not the only interest in the Slask Wroclaw big man’s life. Ask the Serbian about his passion for old-time Mercedes-Benz cars and fishing and he will talk for a while.

What Stefan Djordjevic knows about 90kg burgers, Marc Gasol, old-time Mercedes-Benzes and fishing

[Stefan Djordjevic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/stefan-dordevic/006977/) loves basketball but the action on the hardcourt is not the only interest in the [Slask Wroclaw](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/slask-wroclaw/wro/) big man’s life. Ask the Serbian about his passion for old-time Mercedes-Benz cars and fishing and he will talk for a while.

It’s all part of Slask’s main man in the middle, who already has helped the Polish club reach unheard-of heights in the BKT EuroCup.

Djordjevic is averaging 10.9 points and 5.4 rebounds for a Slask team that is 4-4 in Group A, including an impressive 4-1 record at home.

“We are proud of this, but we need to continue, practicing good and playing good. I think it's really good for the club and for us as players to show that we can play the high level of the EuroCup,” the 26-year-old center told David Hein.

Just how surprising is the 4-4 mark after eight rounds? Consider that Slask had a combined record of 6-47 in its three previous seasons, from 2021 to 2024.

Djordjevic joined the club this off-season from within Poland. He had put together a strong 2024-25 season with Arka Gdynia, finishing second in the league in scoring (19.0 ppg) and rebounding (8.9 rpg). And a chance to play in the EuroCup was a major reason for coming to Slask.

“That was a big thing and a big satisfaction to play in the EuroCup because we play against some of the best teams in Europe in every country,” said Djordjevic, who played two seasons in the Basketball Champions League with Bosnia and Herzegovina side Igokea in 2022 and 2023.

The top plays of Slask Wroclaw big man Stefan Djordjevic through the first eight rounds of the 2025-26 BKT EuroCup season.

Stefan Djordjevic's best plays this season

For the 2023-24 season, Djordjevic made the jump to Spain and played for Basquet Girona. The club near Barcelona is owned by former Spanish great Marc Gasol. And the former NBA champion and two-time world and European champion had a very hands-on approach with the club.

“I talked with him many times. With his great experience, his advice was very important for me at that moment,” Djordjevic said.

The Serbian said Gasol really helped him improve his passing game – something the Spaniard really excelled at during his long career.

“I felt before that season, I wasn't that good of passer. But after I talked with him, I saw the court differently. Now I think I can find passes easier, better and more automatic,” he said.

One of the things about being away from his homeland during the season is Djordjevic missing out on some of his biggest hobbies.

He fondly remembers his time in Leskovac in southern Serbia. One of the reasons the city of about 70,000 people is actually world-famous is the annual Leskovac Barbecue Festival. The locals regularly set a Guinness world record for the biggest burger. This August, at the 35th edition, the mammoth “pljeskavica” weighed in at 90 kilograms.

Djordjevic would regularly attend the event as a youngster and try the burger as the barbecue masters cut up the meat and gave it to the thousands of attendees.

“You want to be part of it because television is there and everybody wants to be on TV when you’re young. Plus it’s free food,” he remembered.

Djordjevic now lives in Belgrade in the off-season, and one of his biggest hobbies is working on his old-timer cars.

“I really like vintage old Mercedes-Benzes. I have a few of them, and I really like taking care of them – cleaning them and everything. I'm trying to do some mechanic work too, what I can do by myself – changing some parts and stuff. And I really enjoy driving them,” Djordjevic said of his Mercedes-Benz W124 – the same model his grandfather used to drive when Stefan was young.

Djordjevic has three of them – the same car but different engines. Big engine cars.

An even bigger hobby for the big man is fishing, an obsession he had long before basketball entered his life. He used to go with his father and then with his friends from his home village – and quite often.

“We would go almost every day before school. That was a big passion of ourselves,” he remembered.

Djordjevic learned pretty early from his parents that it is better to release the fish he caught.

“They said I will feel better. Just take a photo and release it. So I started doing that. And I can say it's a better feeling than when you take it home,” he said.

Djordjevic actually considers himself a sports fishermen.

And he still has fishing friends. One of them is a fellow EuroCup player – [Nikola Tanaskovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/nikola-tanaskovic/005637/) from [Buducnost VOLI Podgorica](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/buducnost-voli-podgorica/bud/), someone who he camps with for three or four days at a time.

“I often go fishing in the summer. Most of the time I go carp fishing. I go camping with Nikola. He really likes it too. Every time I have time, I try to use it to go fishing,” he said.

Djordjevic now lives about a 10-minute walk from the Sava River in Belgrade and would go there almost every night after practice in the summer to fish for about an hour.

Djordjevic doesn’t have his fishing gear with him in Wroclaw, which is actually okay because there is not much time for it.

“Maybe when we finish the EuroCup season, because now almost every day we are on a trip or somewhere because we play twice a week. But I would like to try fishing here because Poland is a good country for fishing with a lot of rivers,” he said.

Djordjevic said he will eventually buy some new gear in Poland. He has already done some scouting and found some good places to go.

Now it’s just about finding the time when he’s not helping Slask reach new heights.

Pregame quotes hub: Round 12

## Friday, November 21, 2025

### Olympiacos Piraeus vs. Paris Basketball (20:15 CET)

**Georgios Bartzokas, Olympiacos head coach**

"First of all, we must not get carried away by Paris’s tempo, because the faster they play on offense, the more opportunities they give you to score as well. We’re talking about the top offense and the team with the best pace in the EuroLeague. Hifi is the league’s top scorer and he plays 21 minutes, during which he takes 19 shots. That gives an indication of how the team plays. They are the number one team in scoring from pick-and-roll handlers. We need to execute on offense with patience, not rush, and read exactly what they give and what they don’t. We explained this to the players. Obviously, we have to go after the rebounds. They press full court, and we must not let them get the ball in their hands. In our recent games, we’ve made quite a few turnovers, and we need to protect the ball if we want to execute well."

**Evan Fournier, Olympiacos forward**

"They present many challenges as a team. They have speed and rhythm. It will come down to desire. We have to control the tempo, move the ball, play our game, shoot, and play tough."

### Virtus Bologna vs. Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv (20:30 CET)

**Dusko Ivanovic, Virtus head coach**

"Maccabi is a very strong team in every position. They are very good in transition and offensive rebound. We will need to be physically ready because I think the match could be decided in the paint. We have to run and fight for rebounds. They share the ball very good also."

**Alessandro Pajola, Virtus guard**

"We're expecting another tough game, as all EuroLeague games are, both at home and away. Maccabi is a talented team, and it will be crucial for us to maintain our concentration throughout the entire 40 minutes, especially on defense. We will definitely need to improve certain aspects of our game and be more consistent overall. We will be playing at home, so we are also counting on the support of our fans, as has always been the case so far this season."

**Oded Kattash, Maccabi head coach**

“We’re heading into an away game against a team that’s very strong at home. We’ll need to raise our level of aggressiveness in an arena that’s not easy to play in. We’ll be without T.J Leaf, so everyone will need to give a little more on both ends of the court.”

**Marcio Santos, Maccabi center**

"We know that every EuroLeague game is tough. Every team is good, so we'll try to get the win and play our best basketball."

### Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade vs. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (20:30 CET)

**Zeljko Obradovic, Partizan head coach**

"We’re playing against the reigning European champions and that alone says enough about the challenge in front of us. They’ve built this year’s team to compete for the highest goals, and even though they didn’t start the season the way they wanted, they’ve been getting better and better. One of the main characteristics of their game is that they’re the best defensive team in the EuroLeague. The reason for that lies in the fact that their perimeter players are tall and can provide support to their inside players. Those are some of the things we’ve been preparing for throughout the week. We’ll need to play patiently, avoid falling into the trap of taking rushed shots, and find better solutions against their defensive adjustments. I hope we’ll reach the level required to play a good game."

**Jabari Parker, Partizan forward**

"We take it one game at a time. Tomorrow is very important, and we shouldn’t look too far down the line. We have to learn from our mistakes, but it’s a new day. A new day and a fresh start, and I believe we’re going to get back on track."

**Sarunas Jasikevicius, Fenerbahce head coach**

"One of the most difficult road games, the atmosphere is the best in Europe and the people push their team. Partizan, after last game, will be very motivated and going to play very physical. We need to find ways to react to that and to especially understand the situations that they want to involve their best players."

**Onuralp Bitim, Fenerbahce forward**

"Another important game awaits us on our path toward our goals. As always, we will step onto the court aiming for the win. We know what to expect in Belgrade. We are preparing very well for a matchup against a great coach, a strong team, and an intense atmosphere. To return home with a victory, we must stay committed to our system and fight until the final second."

### Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz vs. FC Bayern Munich (20:30 CET)

**TJ Parker, Bayern assistant coach**

"Baskonia often plays like a different team at Buesa, where they run the transition, the fast, Spanish game. We want to get them into the half court and defend intensely as a team, not only against Luwawu-Cabarrot, who is having an exceptional season, but also against the dangerous shooter Howard and their very athletic players like Diallo and Diop."

### Valencia Basket vs. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (21:00 CET)

**Pedro Martinez, Valencia head coach**

"It's a very motivating game against a team that is on a very good run. I think they've won seven of their last eight in the EuroLeague, plus all the games they've won in their league, which is almost all of them. They're a team that has hit a very good run of form with the change of coach. And they're a very physical team, one of the best teams in the EuroLeague this season. Every team has its philosophy, and they have one that seems to work very well for them. I understand that there's a positive side to that. Players who play a lot of minutes in a row play with more confidence, they're more assured. We want our players to adapt to a different way of playing. I couldn't say which is better or worse. They're all good or they're all bad. It depends on the players, it depends on the teams, and it depends on the moment. We have to play our game, whatever they do, and we'll adapt, and they'll have to adapt to what we do."

**Kameron Taylor, Valencia forward**

"Every game in this competition is very difficult. We have to go out there focused and do what we always do against a very good team. I'm a little disappointed that I won't be able to see my friend Tyson Carter, but we're going to focus on the game."

**Sasa Obradovic, Crvena Zvezda head coach**

"Valencia is a team nobody wants to play against, no matter what moment they’re in. They have a deep roster and don’t depend on one or two players. With that style of play, everyone has problems. You simply don’t practice for it enough to be able to counter that kind of game. Last year it was even tougher because no one was adapted to that type of offense and defense, and now there are a few teams that play that way. For us, the most important thing is to recognize what we want to attack through pick-and-roll situations, and that’s not easy with players who just joined — new chemistry again, getting to know each other again. No matter how fluid and good it may look at certain stages, there are no guarantees, especially in these circumstances, because it’s not just about tactics but also about the physical condition. \[Jordan\] Nwora has been out, Chima \[Moneke\] similarly, but it’s important to have a sense of how much everyone needs to play."

**Jordan Nwora, Crvena Zvezda forward**

"I’m really excited. My teammates did a great job — the team stayed in form and kept winning. I had time to recover. Now I feel better, and I’m really excited to be coming back. We’re just taking it game by game, as if none of the previous games were played. Every game is equally important. It’s easy to stay grounded — we still haven’t accomplished anything; we have our goals ahead of us. Of course, it’s always nice to win, but we’re just following the flow of the games. We have a lot of talent on this team, and it depends on who gets going. The guys have their roles, and we just need to keep it that way. As for Valencia, they play really fast, and the key will be to slow them down and play good defense."

### Anadolu Efes Istanbul vs. FC Barcelona (18:30 CET)

**Igor Kokoskov, Efes head coach**

"It’s an unwritten rule that when a team changes its coach, there's always an energy boost for that team with the new coach. They're going to be definitely motivated to play their best game. They have experienced players. We had three days to regroup ourselves. There are a lot of injuries that we're dealing with, but we have no excuse. Whatever we have, we have to use all our guys and everybody's got to be ready to play against a team who didn't win a lot of games. But we know they're dangerous, especially because they have a new coach and experience. They have those two things that we have to emphasize."

**Cole Swider, Efes forward**

"Barcelona is a great team, we are preparing for a team that is desperate as well. We are excited for the opportunity to play in front of our home fans once again against a great team. We’ll do our best to put on a great performance and come away with the win."

**Xavi Pascual, Barcelona head coach**

"Efes is a team with a very deep roster which has very important injuries, without a doubt, but even with that, the players they have are very good. We have to be focused and play very well to be able to win. It's a very dynamic team, and they also play a lot of minutes with two players who can play power forward and center \[Ercan Osmani and Rolands Smits\] which makes things more difficult. It is the kind of team that is not the one that best fits our characteristics. We have to play a very good game, and very balanced at both ends. And it won't be easy, because the players will give their all, but logically, there will be a new coach, and since they will give their all, there will also be a moment of pressure, because they will be able to show what they can so, and we need calm, tranquility in the most difficult moments. I'm very happy to be back in the EuroLeague, I feel like a EuroLeague coach, and not being there, for me, was complicated."

**Dario Brizuela, Barcelona guard**

"We are playing against a team that has a lot of talent and very mobile power forwards like Osmani and Smits, so in that sense they can make things complicated. We are talking about a very versatile team. As we did throughout the season, I think that being solid on defense is key, especially when you play on the road. If you go to a road game in the EuroLeague and you allow 100 points, you have great chances to lose. That will be the key, and then on offense, keep trying to be ourselves. Getting a road win in the EuroLeague is like winning twice because it is very difficult. In the situation we are in, it would be great to win. When you play for Barca, the goals are the highest ones, no matter who the coach or the players are. Xavi \[Pascual\] arrived here and has full confidence in our roster. He feels we can compete for everything and that is linked to how we felt since the first day of the season."

### Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens vs. Dubai Basketball (20:15 CET)

**Ergin Ataman, Panathinaikos head coach**

"We forget last week. Even if Dubai is a new team in the EuroLeague, they have very experienced players with great quality like \[Filip\] Petrusev, like \[Aleksa\] Avramovic, like Dwayne Bacon, who is very effective on offense. Kabengele is playing a very good season, he started the season very well. So we will be ready. Tough game, very important game. But of course we feel better than one week ago. Omer \[Yurtseven\] is still not healthy, I hope he will be 100% ready for the next game that we will play against Partizan on Tuesday. \[The improvement in Panathinaikos's play has one easy answer:\] Kenneth Faried! The answer is very simple. You cannot play basketball for 40 minutes without a real center. Tactically, you can play basketball for 10-15 minutes with the guards, with Mitoglou at the 5 like we played in previous years, but to play the whole game without a real center, it was impossible. For this reason, we lost these games at Red Star, at Bologna, so we had a lot of problems. Now with his contribution, the team found a balance and everybody's quality has shown on the court. In the team, if you miss something, it's a problem for all of the players. He has done a great job in the last two games, I hope he will continue like this."

**TJ Shorts, Panathinaikos guard**

"The energy is good. We had a good two days of practice after our off day. Now we just want to roll with the momentum we built over the last double week, with the tough win we had in the Greek League over Aris, and continue to push. When I'm able to contribute, it just boosts my confidence. I'm hoping to continue to just help the team find ways to be successful when I'm on the court and just continue to find my rhythm. It's still relatively early in the season, but it's getting into the more important part of the season, so you've got to bring your A game every night. The recipe is in the work we do every day; the way we practice, the way we communicate with each other, the energy we bring on the court, the energy the fans give us when we play at home. I don't have any secret recipe to win games, we've just got to go out there and do it. It helps a lot \[having Kenneth Faried\]. First of all defensively, just knowing that someone is behind you to be the last line of defense. It just makes everyone else who is on the ball be a little bit more confident, be a little more aggressive. He's been great since he got here. Offensively, a guy who can set screens, can dunk the ball, catch lobs, do a little bit of everything. For myself, it's been a big help to my game and he's been a big help to our team in general."

**Jurica Golemac, Dubai head coach**

"They are playing great basketball the last 2-3 weeks with some new additions, with all the energy they have playing at home. Like every game, it's very important to stop their easy transition points, to be strong in our paint, to rebound the ball, and try to run and get as many easy points as we can. Of course, it's not going to be easy, they are one of the most talented teams in Europe and one of the favorites to win the EuroLeague, but it's a great challenge for us. You cannot stop them, but you need to try to limit them through teamwork. We need to work 40 minutes all together."

**Dwayne Bacon, Dubai forward**

"We've just got to play the right way and defend. They're a very tough team from top to bottom. They've been together for a couple of years, so they know how to play exactly with each other. Everybody knows their role well. When we look at them, it's definitely a point we're trying to get to, so we've just got to play solid. There's going to be ups and downs throughout the game, but you've got to keep fighting, keep playing, and we've got to defend for 40 minutes. Every game gives me a motivation. I'm happy to be back here, but I think everybody tries to overexaggerate when you play somewhere and you finally come back for the first time. I loved being in Greece, it's one of my favorite cities in Europe, probably my favorite place in Europe. I'm just excited to be here. It's going to be a tough game, I love tough games, so I'm just excited to play."

### EA7 Emporio Armani Milan vs. Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv (20:30 CET)

**Ettore Messina, Milan head coach**

"We're facing a team with enormous talent and depth. We'll need to play a game based on courage, cohesion, and pace, while also counting on the support of our people in the stands. The key aspects for us will be defending the players who create scoring for Hapoel and controlling the rebounds."

**Armoni Brooks, Milan guard**

"Hapoel is a very talented team, with a Final Four-caliber roster. We're facing a tough game and executing our game plan will be crucial. We have some absences, but like we did against Olympiacos, we want to embrace the challenge, focusing on our depth because on this team, everyone has occasionally been able to step up when needed, and it doesn't depend on one or two players."

**Dimitris Itoudis, Hapoel head coach**

"They are coming in with four straight wins - very important wins - and they have the personnel to win games in a variety of ways. They can play small ball, they use different lineups, and they have great ball-creators. They use a lot of switches, and their bigs are experienced and athletic. Overall, Milan has a deep roster. I don’t know who will be available and who won’t, so we’re preparing for each and every one of them."

**Collin Malcolm, Hapoel forward**

"Every EuroLeague game is tough. Milano has some really good, experienced players. We just have to make sure we control the game at our pace."

### Real Madrid vs. Zalgiris Kaunas (20:45 CET)

**Sergio Scariolo, Real Madrid head coach**

"I think we are facing one of the best teams in this first games in this EuroLeague season. Offensively, they are really good, with high shooting percentages and the ability to run the break, especially after forcing turnovers, which they know how to go They have the ability to play one-on-one, especially through Francisco and Lo. We have to keep having the ability of getting a lot of high-percentage shots like we did until now but obviously, trying to make them. That is what changes everything completely, even when it comes to being more fluid and having more space in the paint. We have to keep working to generate those shots and take them in practice to try to grow in that sense."

**Usman Garuba, Real Madrid forward**

"Zalgiris is a team that had a very good start of the season and is playing great games. They had a great start and it is going to be hard for us tomorrow, but we have to be ready. The team is ready to face this new challenge. I think this game is important in order to keep taking steps forward in the EuroLeague, which is what we all want, to keep improving. Defense has to be our main strength because if we play good defense, everything else will flow. We have to try to play great defense in this game to stop Zalgiris's game. This is a strong test at home and we have to try to add a win at Movistar Arena, always pushed by our fans. That would be very important for the whole team."

**Tomas Masiulis, Zalgiris head coach**

"The coach has changed, as have quite a few players. Now there is less freedom, with more play for shooters and those playing the 4, \[Mario\] Hezonja and \[Trey\] Lyles. The style has changed, but the athleticism and physicality remain. They want to run like a Spanish team, with \[Facundo\] Campazzo firing up the whole team. They have a lot of weapons. \[Nigel Williams-Goss\] has already been trying a bit, he tried yesterday, he will try today too. But he is not flying to Madrid yet. We are expecting him in the near future, because there are already positive developments."

**Edgaras Ulanovas, Zalgiris forward**

"After the trip to Dubai, this trip doesn't seem so difficult, even though the flight took four hours. We are most looking forward to the games. The training sessions were productive. Everything is fine. Of course, we lost Dovydas \[Giedraitis\], who was starting to get back into rhythm. We feel ready, and we'll see how it goes. \[Trey Lyles\] showed great talent, a very talented player on offense. He is tall and fights well for the ball. One of the tasks is to make the game difficult for him, not to let him get into it easily, too easily. Of course, some players may have more difficult shots because they can do so and play fast. It will definitely be a huge task to stop both Trey Lyles and the others."

### LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne vs. AS Monaco (20:00 CET)

**Vassilis Spanoulis, Monaco head coach**

"In the Euroleague, there are no easy games. ASVEL’s standings at the start of the season mean nothing to us; we’re approaching this game with a lot of focus and determination. We believe in ourselves and our strengths, and we’re ready for this game."

**Nikola Mirotic, Monaco forward**

"We’re coming to Villeurbanne to win. We’re having good practices, we know our strengths and weaknesses, and the team is still looking to improve. This is a point in the season where we need to take the next step. We still have room for improvement to achieve more consistency and regularity, which we’ve lacked since the start of the season."

Agee arrives to fill a gap in Bourg’s rotation created by the departure of JT Shumate and recent injuries. Known for his intensity and versatility, Agee brings a well-rounded offensive skill set and strong defensive commitment. He averaged 11.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals for Gravelines last season.  

“Intense and active, Tajuan has a complete offensive arsenal and an interesting defensive investment as well,” said Francois Lamy, JL Bourg’s general manager. “He can play alongside nearly all of our interior players and will add the experience and toughness we’ve sometimes lacked in the paint.”

The Chicago native began his professional career in 2020 in Bulgaria with BC Balkan before moving to Israel’s Maccabi Ashdod. He then joined RASTA Vechta in Germany, where he played a pivotal role in the club’s promotion to the Bundesliga and was named MVP of the second division in May 2023. Agee signed with Gravelines-Dunkerque later that year.

A graduate of Iona College, where he earned All-MAAC honors and led the conference in rebounding, Agee has built a reputation as a high-energy player capable of impacting games on both ends of the floor.

Real Madrid survives Zalgiris in historic shootout

In one of the best and most intense games of the season, Real Madrid beat Zalgiris Kaunas 100-99 at Movistar Arena in a game to remember. Theo Maledon and Facu Campazzo paced Los Blancos to their sixth win of the season, but according to Coach Sergio Scariolo's words after the game, it didn't go as planned.

"I don't remember a game where a team scored 100 points with just 2 threes. This is probably a unique case," Scariolo said.

 Real Madrid finished the game having made just 2 of 9 three-pointers. Those 2 three-point shots made are the lowest mark for Real in over a year. It previously made only 2 triples in a 79-89 home loss against FC Barcelona on March 7, 2024. Real had never scored more than 80 points in games in which it made 2 or fewer three-pointers.

Still, Real found ways to be effective, mainly through its two star guards. Campazzo had a sensational first quarter, reaching 10 points in the game before Zalgiris. He left for the bench late in the first quarter with 12 points, no missed shots and his team leading 18-8. 

Campazzo was scoreless from that moment until the final 3 minutes, in which he scored 8 points, including two critical acrobatic baskets that prevented Zalgiris from regaining the lead in the final minutes. Campazzo finished the game with season-highs of 20 points and a PIR of 25.

Maledon made things happen off the bench with an all-around offensive performance, getting easy baskets in transition and attacking the rim to draw fouls. He broke the 20-point mark for the first time in this EuroLeague season, making 7 of 8 two-pointers and 11 of 11 free throws for a season-high PIR of 34.

Zalgiris trailed almost all the way in the first half until Sylvain Francisco decided he had had enough. Francisco singlehandedly kept Zalgiris in the game throughout the second half, in which he had 24 points and 8 assists. The Zalgiris star scored 17 points in the fourth quarter, and struck three times from downtown in the final 80 seconds. When he fouled out with 2.5 seconds left, Francisco received a great ovation for Real fans, and even Coach Scariolo praised him after the game.

"Unbelievable, man. How easy can basketball be, right? Give the ball to the guy, make a couple of three-pointers, shoot the three and make it. But you got to know that he's a great player. He can do it. It's not the first time he does that," Scariolo said. "And Zalgiris proved that they are one of the best teams in this start of the competition because they have a tough, strong-sized team with many players who can shoot, and with great handlers like Francisco and \[Maodo\] Lo."

Francisco set two career-highs against Real with 11 assists and a PIR of 37. He also matched his personal best in scoring with 33 points. Francisco also scored 33 points with Zalgiris against FC Bayern Munich on January 30, 2025.

Sylvain Francisco of Zalgiris Kaunas had 33 points, 11 assists and a PIR of 37 in a 100-99 road loss against Real Madrid in Round 12 of the EuroLeague regular season. 


Francisco has career night against Real 

After he fouled out, Campazzo missed free throws, the second one intentionally to run the game clock down. And Zalgiris had a chance to win at the buzzer, but Ignas Brazdeikis's prayer from beyond midcourt only hit the backboard.

By not hitting three-pointers, Real went inside and almost broke a club record by scoring 33 two-pointers. The club record is 34 two-pointers in a 94-45 home victory over Spirou Charleroi on December 23, 2010. That night, Real also struggled from downtown, making just 4 of 17 three-pointers.

The two teams combined for 75 fourth-quarter points (38-37), which was the second-highest mark in EuroLeague history. Zalgiris holds the record along with SLUC Nancy, when they combined for 77 points in the fourth quarter on January 8, 2009. Zalgiris beat Nancy 105-94 in that game.

Real set a club record for fourth-quarter scoring with 38 points. Its previous best was 36 points in a 104-113 win over Ural Great on March 27, 2002. Scariolo was also Real's coach that night.

Though it did not go according to plan, Real found a way to win, bounce back from consecutive losses and deny Francisco the chance to give Zalgiris a victory in what statistically was his best night in the EuroLeague - for now.

Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv is in seventh heaven and proudly sitting at the top of the EuroLeague with a 9-3 record after an 83-105 road drubbing of EA7 Emporio Armani Milan on Thursday

Hapoel shows it means business with statement win at Milan 

Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv is in seventh heaven and proudly sitting at the top of the EuroLeague with a 9-3 record after an 83-105 road drubbing of EA7 Emporio Armani Milan on Thursday, with the Israeli side fast becoming the envy of the competition with its high-tempo game.

The performance against Milan, which dropped to 6-6, left nothing to be desired as Hapoel demonstrated entertaining and high-scoring basketball with its pack leaders again coming to the fore in a ruthless destruction of the hosts, who were only able to cope in the first quarter.

From there on, it was a lop-sided contest and Hapoel’s efficiency will leave few teams fancying their chances against a well-oiled machine firing on all cylinders in its debut EuroLeague season.

Coach Dimitris Itoudis seem to have ticked all the boxes in assembling a talent-packed outfit, with Dan Oturu and Antonio Blakeney pacing Hapoel on 20 points each at Unipol Forum, the latter also grabbing 7 rebounds. Elijah Bryant added 18 points and big man Johnathan Motley chipped in with 17, while Vasilije Micic rounded up a smooth team effort with 13.

“Congratulations to my team. We knew we had to change our mindset defensively in the third quarter and we did it immediately,” Itoudis said in his postgame comments. “It was a team effort as we made some great stops and whoever came off the bench or in the starting lineup was giving something. Basketball requires a plan at both ends and you can’t disconnect one from the other.”

Oturu toyed with his markers on offense while he also constituted a wall in his own paint, as Milan’s was ground to a screeching halt after a decent first half with the Italian side only trailing 45-49 at the interval. A 0-12 Hapoel run early in the third quarter was a sign of things to come and the visitors never looked back, forcing droves of home fans to leave the gym in a hurry well before the final buzzer.

“In the third quarter, we used our defense to fuel other parts of our game,” said Oturu. “Great second half team effort and I’m just happy we won the game. I am here to go out and compete and help my team win. We came here on a four-game winning streak and needed to bring our best performance, so we’ll just try to rack up the wins as we go along.”

Hapoel shot a sound 10-of-22 from downtown and a staggering 31-of-43 from inside, having dished out 23 team assists to steamroll Milan and Bryant also played a key role as the visiting team’s back court overwhelmed their opponents.

“We had 8 turnovers in the first half so we limited those and as they packed the paint, we were able to make better decisions and get the win,” Bryant said. “If you look down the league, teams that get the most rebounds usually win and I’m pretty sure that we won the rebounding battle tonight. We have a lot of talent on our team, tonight it was Dan (Oturu) who did the job for us, but we’ve got plenty of players who can play both offense and defense.”

Hapoel duly won the battle of the boards 37-27, having also limited Milan to hitting a mere 5-of-24 from downtown thanks to aggressive pressure on the perimeter, as open looks were few and far between for the home team.

The visiting team kept rolling on with a masterclass performance and an emphatic victory
