Vassilis Spanoulis enjoyed a triumphant start to his Turkish Airlines EuroLeague coaching career, guiding AS Monaco to an 88-91 road victory at Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens in a back-and-forth battle featuring 25 lead changes.

Loyd and Vitto Brown both scored 5 points in the early stages for Monaco, but a three-point play from Dinos Mitoglou, a pair of baskets from Jerian Grant and Cedi Osman’s triple kept it tied up, 14-14, midway through the first. James hit a transition three and Diallo added a fastbreak slam, but Panathinaikos hit back with a 6-0 run featuring buckets for Hernangomez and Lorenzo Brown. Papagiannis and then Jaron Blossomgame dunked to reignite Monaco, but Lessort did the same and Nunn also struck, before free throws made it 26-28 at the end of the first.

Inside scores from Blossomgame and Papagiannis pushed Monaco further ahead early in the second, before Lessort’s alleyoop was bettered by Papagiannis’s triple and Diallo’s fastbreak slam for a 33-40 lead. Another Lessort slam, Nunn’s floater and Grant’s midrange jumper pulled the Greens back with a 7-0 run, 40-40. Donatas Motiejunas and the red-hot Lessort scored close to the basket, before a triple from Kostas Sloukas was bettered by inside buckets for Loyd, Okobo and Diallo, making it 48-50 for the visitors at the break.

KK Crvena zvezda thrashed FC Bayern Basketball 101-77 in Round 12 on the back of a club-record 34 assists.

Crvena Zvezda demolishes Bayern, 101-77

Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade bounced back in style from its last home loss against archrival Partizan by beating the visiting FC Bayern Munich at Belgrade Arena on Friday night. The hosts had a strong start with Filip Petrusev ruling inside to earn a 25-19 lead after 10 minutes and a 42-34 edge at halftime, but the hosts pulled away after the intermission. A 17-2 run with Ognjen Dobric running the show made Bayern fall into pieces in the third quarter, helping Zvezda get a balanced winning record at 6-6, while Bayern dropped to 8-4.

Petrusev tied his career high in points with 25, 15 of which came in the first period, to lead the winners. Maike Daum followed with 16 points, Ognjen Dobric got 15 and Nikola Kalinic chipped in 10, while Cody Miller-McIntyre recorded 12 of Zvezda's 34 assists, which broke a club record. Devin Booker provided 14 points for Bayern, which also had Onuralp Bitim and Shabazz Napier in double figures with 14 and 11 points respectively.

Zvezda and Bayern started the game with clearly opposite approaches. Since the hosts insisted on feeding its frontcourt to find easy points under the rim, the visitors looked for long-distance shooting on most of its offensive possessions. It worked better for the Serbian side, as Petrusev scored 7 of his team’s first 11 points to put Zvezda 11-8 ahead after 5 minutes. Despite Booker and Oscar da Silva’s effort on the break, the home team retained a safe 18-12 margin, with all its points coming from inside the paint or from the free-throw line. The first three from Zvezda would come soon after and from the hands of Petrusev, who also added a terrific dunk to make it 23-14. Even though Petrusev added another bucket, Bitim and Da Silva helped Bayern reach the end of the first period trailing by just 6, 25-19.

The trend continued after the break, as Elias Harris hit a jumper and Bitim nailed a three to get Bayern within 26-24. Zvezda stopped it with a timeout, but it didn’t prevent Bayern from getting its first lead of the game, 26-28, after Bitim and Harris made the most of Zvezda's mistakes in defense. The hosts didn’t collapse, though, and found a way to turn the tables thanks to bringing Milos Teodosic and Yago Dos Santos together on the court. They both sparked a 12-0 run by scoring, passing and making Zvezda run the court, which resulted in a 38-28 lead midway through the second period. Daum and Petrusev took over on offense later to keep the hosts’ momentum, but Bayern managed to prevent an early ending thanks to back-to-back triples by Obst and Napier that saw the visitors close the first half with a manageable 8-point deficit, 50-42.

Petrusev was red-hot after the intermission with a three, an inside bucket and a block, good for a 55-42 Zvezda advantage. Bayern tried to find a fast rally from the three-point line, but got just one trey from Nick Weiler-Babb, too few to compensate for Dobric-Daum partnership, which made 12 points on four plays to dig it deep, 67-47, after 24 minutes. Booker tried to bring his team back with a powerful dunk, but Zvezda was already soaring. Another strong 8-0 run led by Dobric elevated the hosts to a 75-49 lead with less than 3 minutes to go in the quarter. Bayern tried to shift momentum by intermittently switching to zone-defense, but nothing ended up clicking for the guests. An inside bucket by Plavsic closed the third period with a 79-52 home lead.

A 0-7 run early in the last period seemed to reactivate Bayern, 81-59, but it was nothing but an illusion against an extra-motivated Zvezda. A short jumper by Rokas Giedraitis and a triple by Daum froze Bayern for the last time, as both coaches decided to use the game to give some playing time to bench players. Still trying zone defense for a while, Bayern could do nothing but avoid an even more painful punishment. Isaiah Canaan made it a 32-point game, 99-67, from behind the arc, but a 2-9 spark in the last 2 minutes of the game lessened the wounds and reduced the margin to 101-77 at the final buzzer.

The hosts broke the game in the third period and recorded 34 assists

Buducnost sends a message with blowout win against Wolves, 104-77

Buducnost VOLI Podgorica showed what it is capable of by thrashing Wolves Twinsbet Vilnius 104-77 in Round 9 on Friday night, with every player who stepped onto the floor scoring for the hosts.

Rasheed Sulaimon was a menace on the offensive end all night long and finished with a game-high 23 points, while Fletcher Magee had 16, Nikola Tanaskovic netted 15, Kenan Kamenjas poured in 12, and Juwan Morgan scored 11. Kamenjas also paired his 12 points with 12 rebounds. For Wolves, Anthony Cowan finished with a team-best 18 points, with Tre'Shawn Thurman and Garrison Brooks adding 10 and 10 points, respectively.

An opening 7-0 run by Buducnost was perhaps a signal of what was to come, although Wolves did immediately respond with a 7-0 run of their own to tie the game at 7-7. Yet, a couple of threes – one by Yogi Ferrell and another by Sulaimon – helped Buducnost push ahead to a 20-12 lead. Morgan then had 7 points in a hurry, and McKinley Wright's layup ensured it was 29-18 at the end of the first quarter.

Even though Wolves prevented Buducnost from pulling away in the early minutes of the second period, back-to-back triples by Magee suddenly swelled the lead to 45-27. Buducnost continued to shine whenever it went to big men Tanaskovic and Kamenjas, and they were both key in ensuring the hosts held a 57-38 advantage at the interval.

Wolves outscored Buducnost 6-2 in the first couple of minutes, but it was too big a mountain to climb as the Montenegrin club simply went up a gear to regain a hefty lead. Tanaskovic and Kamenjas continued to impress, while Morgan and veteran center Alen Omic appeared late in the third quarter to help Buducnost enter the final frame with an 82-61 lead.

Wolves's Marek Blazevic got the first score of the fourth quarter, but three straight threes by Buducnost – two by Sulaimon and one by Magee – effectively put the win on ice at 91-63. Kamenjas kept showing lots of energy inside, while there was loud applause when Mateo Dreznjak hit a technical free throw with 1 second left as that meant all 11 players who stepped onto the floor for Buducnost had scored, with the final score being 104-77.

The Lithuanian side had won five straight before this game

Milano staged a stunning road upset to beat Fenerbahce, 85-91

EA7 Emporio Armani Milan celebrated an 85-91 road win over Turkish Airlines EuroLeague leader Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul after the Italian team’s forward Nikola Mirotic scored a game-high 29 points through the opening three quarters.

Mirotic, who also racked up 9 boards, was scoreless in the fourth, but Zach LeDay stepped up and scored 11 of his 19 points in the final 10 minutes, while Neno Dimitrijevic added 15, as Milan improved to 6-6.

Fenerbahce dropped to 9-3 after trailing more or less throughout the contest, with Wade Baldwin pacing the home team on 19 points. Arturs Zagars netted 16 and Tarik Biberovic chipped in with 15 for the Turkish outfit, whose late fightback fell short.

Milan shared the ball superbly in the first half as the visitors engineered 11 assists in the opening 15 minutes while Mirotic shot the lights out from all over, mixing it from inside and outside to score 18 points by halftime. Dimitrijevic added 10, while Baldwin and Biberovic kept Fenerbahce afloat, with the hosts trailing 37-41 at the interval.

The halftime score by no means flattered Milan, which dominated the boards 20-14 and dished out almost twice as many assists as Fenerbahce (13-7) thanks to quick movement of the ball and an unselfish approach from the visiting players.

Fenerbahce looked like turning the tide in the third quarter after conjuring a 7-0 run to take a 44-41 lead, but Mirotic replied with 6 quickfire points to swing the pendulum Milan’s way and the visitors never looked back after nosing ahead again.

A 3-13 run early in the fourth gave Milan a massive 66-79 lead and the writing was on the wall for Fenerbahce after its deficit swelled to 68-85 in the closing stages. With their backs against the wall, the hosts came out swinging and a flurry of late three-pointers closed the gap to 85-89 down the stretch, but there was to be no dramatic climax as LeDay was ice cool from the foul line.
