Facundo Campazzo moves to 10th on all-time assists list

With his fifth assist in [Real Madrid](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/real-madrid/mad/)’s 81-82 loss to Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens on Tuesday night, [Facundo Campazzo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/facundo-campazzo/005928/) moved into 10th place on [the EuroLeague’s all-time assists list](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/stats/expanded/?size=25&viewType=traditional&statisticMode=accumulated&seasonMode=All&sortDirection=descending&statistic=assistances).

Check out what the coaches and players are saying ahead of Round 26 of the 2025-26 EuroLeague season.

Pregame quotes hub: Round 26

## Wednesday, February 4

### Virtus Bologna vs. LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne (20:30 CET)

**Dusko Ivanovic, Virtus head coach**

"In addition to the difficulties we already face, we have another one ahead of us because we are playing against ASVEL, which I consider to be one of the best teams from a physical standpoint. They play very well in transition, have good shooters and play the ball well with \[Thomas\] Heurtel. We need to find the right energy to play better than we did in our last Italian League game."

**Karim Jallow, Virtus forward**

"Tomorrow is gonna be a really important game for us because if we want to have really chances to keep fighting for the play-in, we need every win, especially at home. ASVEL is playing really good, it's gonna be really difficult game, we can't watch the standing. We lost the last game in the Italian League so we need to show a different face of us because we need to protect the home court at all costs."

## Tuesday, February 3

### Dubai Basketball vs. Olympiacos Piraeus (17:00 CET)

**Jurica Golemac, Dubai head coach**

"We already know everything about Olympiacos. They have had the same system for the last 4-5 years, they're one of the best teams in Europe. Pacing-wise, decision-wise, for sure they're the best team. \[We need to be\] totally focused with a lot of energy, 40 minutes, 24 seconds. They're a team that is very, very patient. You think you have defended \[well\], but they find one more pass. To be focused for 40 minutes is going to be the key."

**Justin Anderson, Dubai forward**

"They've been playing really well. Winning eight out of the last 10 games, that feels good. I know what that feels like on the other side, so they're going to look to extend their streak and it's up to us to try to break it. We know our fans are going to be here prepared, I'm sure they're going to travel well and they'll have some fans here, so we're looking forward to a very exciting game. The team, as far as the matchup, they like to move the ball. They're a very veteran team, they've been playing together for some years. You can tell by their roster, it's clear what they're trying to do: they're focused on the postseason. We're a new team. We're learning what it takes to get to the postseason. The competitive edge is there, the chemistry is there, the vibes are there. Now we're focused on giving our best effort every possession, being tough, being physical, and trying to outlast Olympiacos."

**Georgios Bartzokas, Olympiacos head coach**

"It’s a team with exceptional offensive talent, which is why it scores so much. On their home court they are a very hard team to beat, especially considering the conditions there, the time difference, the long trip… That’s why we’re leaving a day earlier. We feel good competitively and we believe we are improving as a team in areas of the game where we were lacking, but also in others where we were already good. But many times that doesn't count; it comes down to the approach to this particular game."

**Cory Joseph, Olympiacos guard**

"I expected the EuroLeague to be tough. The talent here is obviously extremely high. Against Barcelona it was my first game, but I had the right mindset and I had watched enough games to know that every possession counts and you have to fight for every inch. It’s tough and it will continue to be, and you have to prepare properly for every game, and that’s what we’ll do for the next one against Dubai."

### Anadolu Efes Istanbul vs. Valencia Basket (18:30 CET)

**Pablo Laso, Efes head coach**

"We have a lot of respect for Valencia Basket because they have been one of the surprises in the Euroleague this season. From the first day, they have competed aggressively in transition and have a wide rotation. I think Pedro Martinez has done a great job from the start of the year -and last year as well- though their roster was a bit short then. This season, they have the depth needed for such a demanding calendar. For us, it’s a big challenge because Valencia plays a very open-court style, and we need to match that intensity from the beginning. We must take responsibility in guarding their key players, but it’s not just about one person, anyone on their roster can step up. Kameron Taylor, Omari Moore, Jean Montero, they have many weapons, and just yesterday Josep Puerto was their top scorer. That speaks volumes about a team that doesn’t depend on any single player."

**Vincent Poirier, Efes center**

"Valencia Basket is a team that plays with great spacing and rhythm, so we need to be ready to match that. Controlling the rebounds and the tempo of the game will be key to limiting their ability to take quick shots. We know our momentum hasn’t been good lately, so we need to treat this game like a final and play as if it were our last."

**Xabi Lopez-Arostegui, Valencia guard**

"We're heading into a very demanding week after a very physically demanding January. We have two games, the first of which is a very important EuroLeague game. I think Anadolu Efes hasn't had much luck this season in terms of injuries, but they have a very strong roster and we know how difficult it is to win away from home in the EuroLeague. The games are very physical, and I'm sure that even though they haven't had many wins, they need to win. They also need to feel good about themselves, and I'm sure it will be a very close game. We have to play well to start the week off right, with a good mindset, and build momentum. And from there, whatever comes next, the games on Thursday and Sunday. But we have to focus on that first game, which would help us pave the way a little. At the start of the season, we saw the roster that Anadolu Efes was putting together, and they were a bit of a contender for everything. It's true that they've had injuries and difficulties, but we know how talented many of their players are. As I said before, the longer you go without winning, the more desperate you become, and that makes them more dangerous. So we have to go in with the utmost respect, as we always do, for all our opponents. Focus a little on ourselves, on doing a good job, and I'm sure that way we'll have a better chance of competing and winning."

### Zalgiris Kaunas vs. AS Monaco (19:00 CET)

**Tomas Masiulis, Zalgiris head coach**

"One of the most talented teams is coming in. I think they really have a lot of talent and individually strong players in the guard positions. It will be a very big challenge to see how we handle them. They definitely play very physically. On defense, they have a lot of players who can bring physicality — guards, players at the three and four positions, \[Alpha\] Diallo, \[Jaron\] Blossomgame as well. That needs to be mentioned. If, as always, we take a step back when we’re met with physicality, we’ll have big problems. If we respond in kind — like we’ve said, in a fight you have to strike first — then it becomes easier to battle."

**Vassilis Spanoulis, Monaco head coach**

"On Sunday, the team played seriously and showed some great basketball, at least offensively. We shared the ball and played as a team. Playing in Kaunas is never easy, so we'll have to find solutions to compensate for our absences inside. We have to figure out how to make it work with the players we have. Our roster is still in the top six, and we're focusing on each game as it comes."

**Terry Tarpey, Monaco guard**

"After our recent defeats in the EuroLeague, we need to bounce back. In Kaunas and Munich, we have to show our best side and do everything we can to get the win. We know it will be difficult, with Yoan \[Makoundou\] and Kevarrius \[Hayes\] out. Zalgiris is a team that plays very well, with skill and teamwork. We have a score to settle with them after our defeat in the first leg, so we'll have to be ready for the atmosphere there."

### Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade vs. Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv (20:00 CET)

**Dimitris Itoudis, Hapoel head coach**

"We're here in Belgrade meeting a team like Zvezda that is right now playing very good basketball at home as well and they're in full power and full roster and makes our task very difficult but we're here to give our fights."

**Dan Oturu, Hapoel center**

"Ready to take on a big challenge tomorrow against Zvezda. We’re focused on getting back to winning ways and putting the recent defeats behind us. We need to come in prepared, stay united, and be ready to handle a hostile environment."

### Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv vs. Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade (20:05 CET)

**Oded Kattash, Maccabi head coach**

"We don’t have much time to recover. I’m not sure how many fresh legs we’ll get back from the players who are missing. I hope we’ll get a push from the crowd, we need it. There are no easy games in the EuroLeague. There’s no doubt that coming back home has done us good. It would be a bit presumptuous to talk about our chances moving forward; we need to take it one game at a time."

**Jaylen Hoard, Maccabi forward**

"I feel like we have a pretty good job against any team, but in the EuroLeague, every team is tough. Even though they've been going through a lot this season, they've got a talented roster, a lot of guys who can do damage on offense. We're going to have to take the game seriously, play with energy, play with intensity, and feed off our crowd as we go for the win."

**Marcio Santos, Maccabi center**

"We know we played a good game against them on their home court, but now they changed the coach, they changed their style, so they're playing with a better tempo and intensity. We need to match their energy. We know we're at home, so we've got the fans behind us, which helps a lot."

**Joan Penarroya, Partizan head coach**

"Maccabi have been playing very well, especially over the past few weeks, and they’ve had strong results at home. They’re an energetic team that plays with a lot of activity for all 40 minutes, so we need to be solid on both ends of the court throughout the entire game. We have to be especially careful at times when they can make very difficult shots. They have a lot of talent, and we’ll also need to control their fast-break opportunities. At the same time, we’re improving day by day, and tomorrow’s game will be another chance for us to prove ourselves."

**Aleksa Radanov, Partizan forward**

"I don’t think it matters who we’re playing against. Our effort and approach on both ends of the floor have to be at the highest level. Most teams in this league are extremely talented offensively, so our main focus has to be on defense and taking care of the ball. I believe that’s the only way we can win games and keep getting better from one game to the next. Every practice helps us improve, our conditioning will continue to get better and that will allow us to grow as a team. As far as fitting in goes, everything feels good, and I think it will keep improving day by day. Against Maccabi, our goal is to go out there and win, with the same maximum effort we bring to every game. There’s no alternative to giving everything on the court."

### Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens vs. Real Madrid (20:15 CET)

**Ergin Ataman, Panathinaikos head coach**

"We are ready to face one more big game against Real Madrid. It is, of course, a very important game because we are only one victory away from our season goal, and just one win behind Real Madrid, whom we beat in Madrid. Of course, tomorrow we again have some problems, as Kendrick Nunn will not play. He is one of the key players in our offensive system. However, I believe that with our energy, our defense, and the support of all our fans, we will find a way to win the game and reach the position in the standings that we deserve.

"Finally, I would like to say to our fans that we are completely ready for this double week, where every game will be very important. And of course, I am sorry about yesterday’s loss against Aris, but as you can see, after a EuroLeague game, especially with important injuries, many players get tired. It is not easy to play every game at that level, but the team fought until the last minutes of overtime yesterday.

"For this week and next week, we have another big game to reach our season goal, which is to finish in the top four of the playoffs and secure home-court advantage, just as we have done over the last two years."

**Jerian Grant, Panathinaikos guard**

"A big game for us. These are the games that really bring out the best of us, playing against the best teams in Europe. The key is bringing that energy. We saw the last time we faced them that we played with a lot of energy and played together, and the crowd and the fans are going to help bring that as well."

**Sergio Scariolo, Real Madrid head coach**

"Despite all the improvements the team has made over recent months in many areas—technique, tactics, etc.—there is still work to be done on our away performance in the EuroLeague, which is an area where we are not yet where we want to be. We have several consecutive away games coming up, and I believe we can try to improve in this area, which seems to be the only one where we need to make a leap forward. All areas can be improved, but here we need to take a big step forward. From my point of view, which is to prepare game plans, systems, markings... I don't see any difference between playing away and playing at home because the players are the same. It's more a question of confidence, courage, character, personality, priority, that is, feeling that it's very important at this stage. It's something very individual on the part of the players, and we've encouraged them in that direction.

"The game against Panathinaikos in Madrid was perhaps one of the only games where we felt that everything we were trying to do was useless because the opponent was one or two steps ahead, but it was a valid and useful experience. Panathinaikos is an opponent with enormous talent, depth, technical quality, experience, and physical ability at the highest European level, so tomorrow we have a good opportunity to show that we can also compete against this kind of opponent."

**Walter Tavares, Real Madrid center**

"We're really looking forward to tomorrow's game because winning away from home by playing solidly for 40 minutes is the area we most want to improve in. It's true that it's very difficult to win away in the EuroLeague, but improving our performance outside Madrid is one of the things we're working the hardest on because away wins are what get you to the top. We are really looking forward to trying in Athens and seeing if we can come away with a win, which would be very important.

"Panathinaikos vs. Real Madrid is a EuroLeague classic. They always play well at OAKA, and we know that every time we play there, it's always a tough, close game until the end. We know it's going to be tough, but I think that if we do the things we have to do well, stay focused and execute Sergio Scariolo's game plan at all times, we'll have a chance to win.

"I think the key tomorrow is defense. When we defend well and rebound effectively, that's when we gain more confidence, when we have more stability in our game and when we're more fluid on offense."

### FC Bayern Munich vs. Paris Basketball (20:30 CET)

**Svetislav Pesic, Bayern head coach**

"Paris is a transition-oriented team, they run the fast break and crash the offensive glass. In this department, they’re one of the best teams in the EuroLeague. Everyone talks about their strong offense — I’m also talking about their defense, which is very unorthodox because of their specific pressing system. We have to be ready for that. If we want to control the game, we need to replicate our defensive performances from recent EuroLeague games. Then the offense will take care of itself."

**Leo Cavaliere, Paris forward**

“Winning against Real Madrid was a great achievement for us, but we want to keep winning — and doing so at Bayern Munich is going to be a great challenge for us. We want to keep building on what we did in the last game and keep going.”

### FC Barcelona vs. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (20:30 CET)

**Xavi Pascual, Barcelona head coach**

"Just like last year, they signed \[Errick\] McCollum in the middle of the season, and the team changed. This year, with the signing of De Colo and the return of Wilbekin, they take on another dimension. They are an extremely physical team, that can switch in all positions, they can play with a small line-up, sometimes with a bigger one, but they are all big, very physical, very athletic, and very well coached. That's why they're the current champions, and also the top-ranked team in the EuroLeague at the moment. This is the first time since I have been here that I have had a bit more difficulty with the results, although everything is going very fast and we play a lot of games. But, without a doubt, we need our fans at Palau, we need to stick together. Here we have taken this stage of the season, where we all have to be together, we are going in the same direction, as I said on the first day I was here, in the good and the bad moments, because the important moment of the season will come and we have to be prepared for it, and we have to keep going. Some games have slipped away in the final stretch, but the team is still fighting, it's still going strong, and we have to win the Fenerbahce game with the help of all the fans. We are waiting for a full Palau. There's no better reason than to come and watch a game like this, against the best team in the EuroLeague and the current champions. Also, there's no better reason than to help our team take one more step, and have a big night at Palau."

**Jan Vesely, Barcelona center**

"We have to be more focused for 40 minutes. We have to fight all game, because now Fenerbahce are in a very good moment, they won 11 games out of 12 in January, so they are in a great moment. But we are lucky we will be playing at home, so I think the atmosphere will be great, and this is going to give us much more energy to play the game. Playing against Fenerbahce, of course, it's going to be a special moment. I didn't know about it until two days ago, when Sato \[Tomas Satoransky\] told me, so it's a good game to do 400 games \[in EuroLeague\] against. Last week was difficult, but the season is long, we are starting a new week, we have a double week in front of us, so we are starting it with a game at home. It's a big advantage for us, and always when we play here in Palau, the atmosphere is great and the fans are pushing us, so I'm looking forward to the game, the whole team is."

**Sarunas Jasikevicius, Fenerbahce head coach**

"Barcelona is one of the most experienced teams in the EuroLeague. For me, a clear candidate for everything. Extremely well coached. The guard play is phenomenal. We need to take away the three-point shots that are one of the best. And in general make everything very difficult for the very experienced team."

**Nicolo Melli, Fenerbahce forward**

"It's going to be a very tough game in a tough environment against one of the best teams in the EuroLeague, for sure. Um, they're coming off a loss in the domestic league so for sure they wanna play a very good and solid game in front of their fans."

### EA7 Emporio Armani Milan vs. Kosner Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz (20:30 CET)

**Peppe Poeta, Milan head coach**

"Baskonia is a team with a lot of identity that likes to play an up-tempo kind of basketball. For us, the most important aspect it to find consistency for the entire 40 minutes of the game, which is exactly what we have lacked over the last few weeks."

**Rodions Kurucs, Baskonia forward**

"We face a tough game in Milan and have to keep adding wins in the EuroLeague. We have to clean our minds and focus on the next game. We have to be more focused, play together and do the things coach asks us to do. If we changed that, I am sure we will, because we will focus and talk to each other, we will give everything in the game against Milan. I feel good, getting a lot of confidence from my teammates and coach. I am doing my job and always play hard until the end, trying to help my team in all aspects of the game in order to win. For me, the most important thing is to win. When the team wins, everybody wins, and that is what's important."

Injury report, Round 26: Matt Morgan, Pajola out; Edwards, Smailagic available

Wade Baldwin delivered another MVP level performance in Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul’s 82–78 win over FC Barcelona, finishing with 16 points, seven assists and just one turnover. Fenerbahce opened with a near perfect first quarter and held off a late Barcelona comeback to stay atop the EuroLeague standings. Tarik Biberovic added 19 points as Sarunas Jasikevicius’s team continued its strong run.

Fenerbahce rides Wade Baldwin’s brilliance to statement road win in Barcelona 

Palau Blaugrana offered all the noise and nostalgia you’d expect for Sarunas Jasikevicius’s return, but [Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/ulk/) quieted it early and closed it late - with [Wade Baldwin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/wade-baldwin-iv/009863/) running the show throughout. In a game that featured big swings and a furious home push, Baldwin’s control and playmaking helped Fenerbahce defeat [FC Barcelona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/fc-barcelona/bar/) 78-82 and remain atop the standings at 18–7 with nine wins in the last 10 games.

Fenerbahce’s beginning was emphatic. The visitors blitzed the opening period with a near‑perfect mix of pace, spacing and shotmaking, quickly building a 14–29 lead that set the tone for the night. Baldwin was at the center of it, orchestrating pick‑and‑rolls, punching gaps when needed, and finding teammates in rhythm to keep Barcelona off balance from the start.

The middle chapters brought the tension. Fenerbahce led 51–71 in the third quarter, but Barcelona fought back behind stops, pace and shot‑making to close within 78–81 in the final seconds. That’s when Baldwin grabbed a crucial offensive rebound, drew a foul and split free throws with 4.4 seconds left to seal it - a sequence that mirrored his night: poise, timing, and the right play at the right moment.

When the dust settled, Baldwin’s line told most - but not all - of the story: 16 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists with just 1 turnover, and 1 block for a PIR of 26. Over the last two games, he has 16 assists with only one turnover.

FC Barcelona-Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul | Round 26 Highlights | 2025-26 EuroLeague

Right after the game, Baldwin credited his team’s defense for making things happen.

“Barcelona fought as tough as they can. They are going through a little bit of a rough patch, but they showed their character, showed their fight. We just held on, took care of the ball late. It was a little bit rugged, but we stuck together as a team and came out with a win,” Baldwin said after the game. “We are known as one of the top defensive teams in the EuroLeague. Holding a team like Barcelona under their 92-point mark is the goal, obviously. We achieved that today and won the game.”

As always when Coach Jasikevicius returns to Barcelona, a great atmosphere was expected. “Saras” won a EuroLeague title with Barca as a player in 2003 and took it to the EuroLeague Championship Game as a coach, among many other highlights in his three stints with the club - two as a player and one as a coach.

His team made sure to cool off the atmosphere with a near‑perfect first quarter in which Fenerbahce proved why it is on the right track to challenge for a second consecutive EuroLeague title. Coach Jasikevicius’s team made 5-of-6 two‑pointers, 5-of-6 three‑pointers and 4-of-4 free throws on its way to a 14–29 lead.

Despite having the same number of assists and turnovers with five each, Fenerbahce soon found advantages playing one‑on‑one with [Talen Horton‑Tucker](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/talen-horton-tucker/014124/) and an unstoppable Baldwin, who had 10 points off the bench at the end of the first quarter.

Numbers don’t capture the full control Baldwin exerted. He repeatedly bent Barcelona’s coverage, often finding [Tarik Biberovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/tarik-biberovic/006961/) for clean looks at the rim and beyond the arc. He has learned to slow the game, see the whole floor and dictate tempo, using his physicality selectively and putting the ball in all the right places. Fenerbahce fans are seeing his best version.

Biberovic finished with 19 points with 4 of his 7 baskets coming directly from Baldwin’s assists. Baldwin also connected with [Khem Birch](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/khem-birch/007182/) twice, first for a perfectly executed high‑post pick‑and‑roll and then on a wild alley‑oop in transition.

“Nine wins out of 10 is a great thing to hear, but our mentality is game by game. Actually, possession by possession, game by game. Even though we were leading by 20 points today, we have to learn from our mistakes. This cannot happen. Our defense was full of mistakes,” Biberovic said. “We are trying to improve from each and every day and try to be a better team every single day.”

Baldwin stole the show and his current playing level raises interesting questions. Is Baldwin the best point guard in the EuroLeague this year? Is he the best player? With Fenerbahce’s form, the MVP conversation will linger - and the end of the season will tell.

A flawless first quarter and Baldwin’s playmaking help Fenerbahce claim its ninth win in 10 games

FC Bayern Munich was prepared for a dog fight as it welcomed Paris Basketball on Tuesday night, and Bayern did just that as it came away with an 81-75 win.

Andi Obst catches fire again as Bayern imposes its game on Paris

[FC Bayern Munich](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/fc-bayern-munich/mun/) was prepared for a dog fight as it welcomed [Paris Basketball](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/paris-basketball/prs/) on Tuesday night, with head coach Svetislav Pesic urging his players “to replicate our defensive performances from recent EuroLeague games” in his pregame remarks.

And Bayern did just that as it came away with an 81-75 win. Hosting the EuroLeague's third-best offense (89.7 PPG) heading into the game, the German side was locked in from the off. Drawing energy from its defense, Bayern shared the ball well and recorded eight assists on the other end, taking a 21-18 lead after 10 minutes.

Bayern went on to hold the visitors to just two field goals in the first seven and a half minutes of the second quarter and forced the French side to commit 11 first-half turnovers, securing a 34-31 edge at halftime.

A trade of blows in the opening stages of the second half was followed by a stretch of five and a half minutes that saw Paris net just two field goals, as Bayern maintained a 52-49 lead with 10 minutes left on the clock.

And when the hosts needed some cutting edge on offense, it was time for [Andi Obst](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/andreas-obst/004508/) to make the difference. Despite having gone 1-for-5 from deep in the first three quarters, the Bayern guard caught fire when it mattered most, scoring 14 of his team’s 29 points in the fourth.

The first triple came two minutes in to make it 55-50, but Paris fought back, going on a 2-7 run that trimmed the deficit to 64-61. Then, Obst came to the fore again by drilling his second three-pointer of the closing quarter.

“I think that the first two Obst threes of the fourth quarter killed us,” Paris head coach Francesco Tabellini admitted on EuroLeague TV. “The first one was off an offensive rebound and the second one we lost him coming off \[the screen\] and then he caught fire and made two crazy baskets.”

Indeed, Obst would go on to drill two more triples, scoring eight of Bayern’s last 10 points of the game to help them clinch an 81-75 win - its fifth home victory in six games. Bouncing back from adversity following a rough start to the season, a Pesic-inspired Bayern has improved its record to 11-15.

“We knew that we had a tough stretch at the beginning of the season, so we took it day by day,” Obst said. “We brought a new coach, we have a little bit more structure now. We worked pretty hard with the lads in the meeting room, stayed together there, spent a lot of time together.”

Bayern held Paris to its lowest-scoring road game of the season by limiting the visitors to under 19 points in each of the first three quarters. The hosts dictated the tempo by dominating the boards 47-36, including 19 offensive rebounds, from which they bagged 21 points.

“I think that the most important thing tonight was our continuity on defense,” Pesic said after the game. “On offense we can play much better of course, but against a team like Paris – very aggressive on the ball, denying, rotation, pick-and-roll, hard hedge – it’s very difficult for us. 

“But I must say what the German people say: ‘There are no problems, only solutions.’ We have so many problems from game to game with injuries, with everything, but I’m very proud of the team, how we fought until the end. We didn’t play our game of the season, but enough to win the game.”

A few days after holding a high-flying Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv to just 64 points on the road, Bayern produced a similar defensive outing against one of the best offenses in the league. Should they emulate that performance on Thursday against AS Monaco, Bayern could pose problems for last year’s runner-up.

The German guard nailed four triples in the third quarter to inspire Bayern’s sixth win in eight games

EA7 Emporio Armani Milan overcame another major injury setback as center Josh Nebo was ruled out with a hamstring injury ahead of a must‑win game against Baskonia. Devin Booker responded with a season‑best performance in his 200th EuroLeague appearance, scoring 21 points with a PIR of 28 to lead Milan to a 109–89 victory. The win featured Milan’s highest scoring output of the season and showcased a decisive second‑half defensive improvement praised by Coach Pepe Poeta and Shavon Shields.

Devin Booker steps up to inspire Milan over Baskonia with season scoring high

[EA7 Emporio Armani Milan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/ea7-emporio-armani-milan/mil/) suffered yet another injury blow in the buildup to Tuesday’s must-win home meeting with [Kosner Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz/bas/).

News broke on the afternoon of the game that [center Josh Nebo had suffered a hamstring injury](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/josh-nebo-dealing-with-hamstring-injury/) and was ruled out of action, adding to an already long tale of physical woe for the Italian team.

Nebo joined [Leandro Bolmaro](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/leandro-bolmaro/008985/) and [Nate Sestina](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nathan-sestina/011980/) on an injury list, which has featured pretty much every player over the last four months, with only [Armoni Brooks](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/armoni-brooks/013384/) and [Pippo Ricci](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/giampaolo-ricci/001518/) able to feature in every game over the course of the campaign.

The loss of Nebo – Milan’s leading rebounder and most prolific scorer from inside the arc – placed an extra responsibility on the shoulders of [Devin Booker](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/devin-booker/007056/), whose first season with the Little Red Shoes has in truth been a little underwhelming considering the excellence he displayed for FC Bayern Munich in the previous campaign.

Perhaps sensing the need to step up and lead from the frontcourt, Booker answered the call to deliver his best all-around performance of the season, playing a fundamental role in a no-doubt-about-it 109-89 home victory which keeps Milan in the thick of the race for the playoffs.

EA7 Emporio Armani Milan-Kosner Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz | Round 26 Highlights | 2025-26 EuroLeague

Booker netted a season-high 21 points by knocking down 7 of his 10 two-point attempts, adding a pair of three-pointers without a miss and his only free throw. He also contributed a game-high 5 rebounds, along with 2 assists and a blocked shot for a PIR of 28 – another high mark for the campaign.

Even better, those figures came on a milestone evening. The eight-season EuroLeague veteran was making his 200th appearance in the competition, and marked it by passing the career total of 2,000 points. On a collective level, his efficient performance helped Milan muster its highest points tally of the season, falling only two points short of an all-time club record.

So there were plenty of reasons for the hosts to celebrate, but coach Peppe Poeta was most satisfied with his team’s defensive transformation after the interval. The first half was a remarkably free-scoring, back-and-forth affair, featuring 16 lead changes and sky-high shooting percentages at both ends before Milan went into the locker room with a 57-56 advantage.

Poeta came out of the break demanding that his players show more defensive aggression and physicality, and they did everything he asked. Baskonia’s 56 first-half points were reduced to just 33 in the final two quarters, and Poeta was able to spend the final quarter rotating out his key players in preparation for Friday’s double-round week trip to LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne.

“We changed the attitude, the physicality, we changed everything,” enthused the Milan coach as he reflected on his team’s second-half display. “We turned it around. This is the key to our season: if we can be consistent defensively like this, we are a team.

“We played a great third and fourth quarter, with intensity and physicality. The second half was very, very good and we have to start to be more consistent. It’s all about that. It’s the second win in a row in EuroLeague, so I’m very happy.”

Another strong performer in the victory was [Shavon Shields](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/shavon-shields/007831/) – one of six Milan players to score in double digits as he recorded 17 points. And he agreed with his coach’s assessment, shrugging off the 109 points netted and instead focusing on third and fourth quarter defense.

“Giving up 30 points in the second half is huge,” Shields said. “It proves to ourselves that we can do it. In order to go anywhere this season in EuroLeague, we’ve got to play defense and finish games like we did today.

“\[This season\] offense hasn’t been the issue – it’s been defense and finishing the game. We move the ball well, and we’ve got a lot of guys who can get hot. So we need to focus on defense and make a big step that way.”

The big man more than compensated for the loss of an injured colleague

Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv celebrated a thrilling 95-93 home win over Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade after Jimmy Clark settled the contest with a buzzer-beating jump shot that hit nothing but net and sparked wild celebrations inside Menora Mivtachim Arena on Tuesday.

Jimmy Clark steps up in crunch time as Maccabi edges Partizan

[Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/maccabi-rapyd-tel-aviv/tel/) celebrated a thrilling 95-93 home win over [Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/partizan-mozzart-bet-belgrade/par/) after [Jimmy Clark](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/clark-iii-jimmy/013699/) settled the contest with a buzzer-beating jump shot that hit nothing but net and sparked wild celebrations inside Menora Mivtachim Arena on Tuesday.

With just four seconds left and the score tied, Clark received an inbound pass and then pump faked a three-pointer, going up and under [Isaac Bonga](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/isaac-bonga/006760/) before unleashing an off-balanced shot from just inside the arc to give Maccabi a hard-fought win.

The home team, which trailed throughout the second half and was also on the back foot for long spells in the first, improved to 11-15 to keep alive its slim hopes of reaching the postseason while Partizan dropped to 8-18 after losing nine of its last 11.

Clark and former Partizan guard [Iffe Lundberg](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/iffe-lundberg/010781/) both netted a game-high 21 points, the latter pouring in 16 in the first half to keep Maccabi afloat after the visitors produced a 0-11 run to take a 35-36 lead, before holding on for a 48-50 advantage at halftime on the back of 14 points from [Dylan Osetkowski](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/dylan-osetkowski/010581/).

[Sterling Brown](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/sterling-brown/012720/) netted 11 of his 19 points for Partizan in the third quarter as the visitors headed into the last 10 minutes of the contest 72-77 up, while big man [Bruno Fernando](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/bruno-fernando/013667/) racked up 17 points and 7 boards, seemingly forcing overtime when he sank a pair of free throws with just a few seconds left on the clock. However, the livewire Clark stepped up big time and sent the Maccabi fans wild.

“I had confidence out there thanks to my teammates and the coach, they trusted me with that last shot,” a calm and composed Clark said in his postgame comments. “They gave me the ball and I just thank God for it. We’re trying to build on what we have and looking to get better every day,” he added.

The home team’s head coach Oded Kattash said there was no masterplan for the game-winning play except to get the ball into Clark’s hands. “We just wanted to inbound the ball and the rest was on Jimmy,” he said. “We came out flat in the first half and I didn’t like the way we played. We reacted in the second even though we were struggling and we played against a very good team. We found a way to win and we couldn’t have done it without this amazing crowd.”

Often reduced to a peripheral role at Partizan last season, Lundberg came back with a vengeance to haunt his former club and hurt the Serbian team with effervescent shooting, netting 6-of-7 from inside and 3-of-6 from downtown as he also dished out 5 assists and collected 4 rebounds. [Marcio Santos](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/marcio-santos/013289/) chipped in with 17 points for Maccabi and [Roman Sorkin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/roman-sorkin/011219/) added 10, while Bonga posted 14 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists at the other end with [Cam Payne](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/cameron-payne/014213/) amassing 11 and 6 assists.

However, Payne shot only 2-of-10 from downtown and missed some crunch three-point shots when the chips were down as Clark netted a pair of successive baskets at the other end to draw praise from Lundberg.

“We were resilient throughout the second half after surviving the first,” the Danish sharpshooter said. “We limited their second chances and found the energy and then Jimmy stepped up big in the last quarter. This is his moment and I am very proud of him, congrats to him first of all but also to the rest of the team. Once in a while you need a little bit of luck and I am just happy that we won tonight.”

Partizan head coach Joan Penarroya succinctly summed up his team’s defeat, having seen overtime slip away from his grasp in a dramatic climax to the contest. “Congratulations to both Maccabi and to my own players. I think we deserved more today than the loss we suffered, but they scored from all the important situations in the last minute and we missed the important shots.”  

The home team’s versatile guard scored on the final buzzer with a superb jump shot to seal the deal

Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade was inspired by its passionate home fans and carried by Jordan Nwora in a dominant fourth quarter to extend its winning streak to five games, as the Serbian side beat Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv 87-75.

Zvezda defense, clutch Jordan Nwora too much for Hapoel in fourth quarter

[Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/crvena-zvezda-meridianbet-belgrade/red/) was inspired by its passionate home fans and carried by [Jordan Nwora](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/jordan-nwora/013363/) in a dominant fourth quarter to extend its winning streak to five games.

Nwora scored nine of his game-high 22 points in the final frame of an 87-75 home victory over [Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/hapoel-ibi-tel-aviv/hta/) in which Zvezda only allowed six points to the guests.

“They are still one of the top teams for the Final Four. They showed for a good majority of the game how good they are. It was an amazing game, but like so many other games, we showed the best character in the last quarter,” said Zvezda head coach Sasa Obradovic. “I think we did a great job, especially in the last quarter, dominating on defense. We deserved to win the game. We will take this win as an example for future games with full confidence.”

Zvezda improved to 16-10 while Hapoel fell to 16-9 after its third straight loss without star guard [Elijah Bryant](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/elijah-bryant/009846/).

“My teammates rely on me. I am someone who has been able to make shots down the stretch this year,” said Nwora, who was the subject of MVP chants from the Belgrade Arena crowd. “It’s great, hopefully we can keep it rolling.”

[Jared Butler](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/jared-butler/014163/) scored 17 points, [Codi Miller-McIntyre](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/codi-miller-mcintyre/009048/) chipped in 10 points and 9 assists, and [Joel Bolomboy](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/joel-bolomboy/009035/) added 8 points and 7 rebounds in his second game back from injury.

“It was amazing. We focused more on defense in the second half and won the game. Shout out to Jordan, he’s a clutch player. Incredible talent, incredible person. He played amazing tonight and I am happy for him,” said Miller-McIntyre of Nwora.

Neither team could really open much of a lead in the first quarter, though Zvezda grabbed eight offensive rebounds in the period to make up for five Hapoel three-pointers for a 25-21 lead after 10 minutes.

A strong start to the second quarter gave Zvezda a 33-24 advantage. Hapoel’s defense picked up and the guests’ offense put together a 3-11 spurt to go ahead 41-42. Zvezda got its attack going again and was up 49-45 at the break.

The third quarter saw Hapoel big man [Dan Oturu](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/dan-oturu/012788/) pick up his third and fourth fouls within six seconds with nearly eight minutes to go. But [Chris Jones](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/chris-jones/010568/) sparked the Israeli side to build a 62-69 lead after 30 minutes.

The hosts were inspired by the fans and held Hapoel scoreless for the first seven minutes of the final frame for the first 14 points and a 76-69 lead. A three-pointer by Jones finally got Hapoel on the board but Zvezda just kept going.

Jones finished with 16 points and [Ish Wainright](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/ish-wainright/013284/) had 15 points for Hapoel.

“We fought very well for three quarters. We managed to build up a good margin for that period. But we couldn’t respond at the end to the aggressiveness. It was too much of a load for our ball creators. And we couldn’t respond to that,” said Hapoel head coach Dimitris Itoudis.

“The pressure they had on our guards was enormous. We needed more people to contribute. The 13-24 score shows the mentality we had in the third quarter, but the fourth quarter was completely different.”

The hosts allowed just 6 points in the final frame

In a league where every game matters, it was one of those rare nights between two playoff contenders that was never a contest as Zalgiris Kaunas left the visiting AS Monaco in the dust en route to a 104-87 victory.

Zalgiris ‘destroys’ Monaco for a season sweep

In a league where every game matters, it was one of those rare nights between two playoff contenders that was never a contest.

A sold-out Zalgirio Arena celebrated a blowout few saw coming, as [Zalgiris Kaunas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/zalgiris-kaunas/zal/) left the visiting [AS Monaco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/as-monaco/mco/) in the dust en route to a 104-87 victory.

“I was enjoying to stand \[on the sideline\], and it was nice to see our team to play like this,” said Zalgiris head coach Tomas Masiulis, whose team got a season sweep of Monaco. The two clubs now hold an identical 15-11 record.

Zalgiris opened the game with an 8-0 run and soon held a double-digit margin, 17-7. At the end of the opening 10 minutes, the hosts were up 35-18 and had set a club record for the most points scored in a first quarter.

Monaco never got closer than 14 points the rest of the way, as the margin was as big as 26 points in the second half. [Azuolas Tubelis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/azuolas-tubelis/008192/) was scoring at will, finishing with a personal-high 26 points and 7 rebounds.

“I made my layups,” said a humble Tubelis, who made 8-of-11 two-point shots and 2-of-5 triples. “My teammates, [Nigel \[Williams-Goss\]](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nigel-williams-goss/007982/), [\[Maodo\] Lo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/maodo-lo/007032/) and [Sylvain Francisco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/sylvain-francisco/007975/), found me. They are high-quality players, it is very special to play with them.”

Zalgiris had 27 assists, as Francisco danced his way through Monaco defense to 19 points and 8 assists. Lo and [Edgaras Ulanovas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/edgaras-ulanovas/002329/) dished 5 apiece, and Williams-Goss had 4 helpers in his return from injury. [Dustin Sleva](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/dustin-sleva/011927/) netted 16 points.

Tubelis praised Zalgiris's team-first effort.

“I can prepare myself mentally, but I would be just one player. Everyone has to be on the same page mentally, and I am proud of my team. We received a message that it is a very important game, and we took it from the first minute.”

On the other hand, Monaco suffered its fourth straight loss, despite [Mike James](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/mike-james/005985/) having a double-double of 19 points and 10 assists.

Head coach Vassilis Spanoulis said in his postgame interview that Monaco’s off-court problems are not helping things.

“We didn’t exist on the court. It is not only about basketball. Other things bother our minds and destroy our concentration,” Spanoulis said, before adding: 

“But if I have to speak about basketball, Zalgiris destroyed us.”

Azuolas Tubelis and Sylvain Francisco were two of the Lithuanian's team star performers on the night

Anadolu Efes ended its nine‑game losing streak with a dominant 107–90 home win over Valencia Basket, highlighted by a breakout performance from Ercan Osmani, a perfect night inside the arc for Kai Jones and a season‑high assist mark for the team. Pablo Laso earned his long-awaited second EuroLeague win as Efes returned to form.

Osmani leads Efes past Valencia to end a nine‑game slide

[Anadolu Efes Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/anadolu-efes-istanbul/ist/) finally found the breakthrough it had been chasing for weeks. In its most complete performance of the season, Efes rolled past [Valencia Basket](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/valencia-basket/pam/) 107–90 at Turkcell Basketball Development Center, giving Pablo Laso his long-awaited second EuroLeague victory with the club. The win snapped a nine‑game losing streak that had stretched back to mid‑December and brought welcome relief to a team desperate to rediscover its rhythm.

Efes wasted no time announcing its intentions, delivering a blistering first quarter that set a new club record for largest opening‑period lead. Energy, pace and unselfish play defined the night as multiple players stepped forward, none more impressively than [Ercan Osmani](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/ercan-osmani/012710/), who rebounded from recent struggles to deliver a commanding performance at both ends of the floor.

For Laso and his players, the victory marked more than just the end of a skid — it was a sign of renewed identity. Efes defended with purpose, pushed the pace with confidence, and executed its offense with the clarity that had eluded the team in recent weeks. By the final buzzer, the sense of relief inside the arena was matched only by the sense of possibility.

Osmani stepped up early against Valencia, being aggressive at both ends of the floor, finding mismatches against [Neal Sako](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/neal-sako/010545/) and [Jaime Pradilla](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/jaime-pradilla/010393/) and getting five points and three rebounds in the opening seven minutes.

He helped Efes set a club record with a 19-point lead at the end of the first quarter, 33-14. Efes had previously amassed 18-point margins after 10 minutes against Benetton Treviso on October 16, 2002, and against CSKA Moscow on March 4, 2021.

Osmani finished the game with 20 points, 7 rebounds and a PIR of 27. He got plenty of help, too. [Kai Jones](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kai-jones/014102/) came off the bench to do what he does best: block shots, force big men out of the paint and thrill the crowd with his outstanding dunks. After missing three games due to injury, [Jordan Loyd](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/jordan-loyd/009754/) returned against one of his former teams with a rock-solid performance.

"It's been a long time that we hadn't won in the EuroLeague, so I'm happy about that. I want to thank all the teammates because we gave everything on the floor. And I think we played very simple, that's why we got that many points. So from now, I think we have to start building on that," Osmani said. "Thanks to our fans, all of them, because we had a really hard period. So it was hard for them also. We couldn't get any good things for them. So after now, I think everything will change, and we are going to be better."

"I am happy for my players. I think we did a great effort. Everybody fought a lot from the beginning. We were playing against a team that is playing very good, with a great pace. Probably that helped us to recover a little bit the pace that we need to show, let's say, our best image. We are still missing important players, for sure, but we have to go step by step," Coach Laso said after the game. "And I think today was a very good first step."

[PJ Dozier](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/pj-dozier/012742/) and [Saben Lee](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/saben-lee/013389/) combined for 28 points, 13 assists and just 3 turnovers. They helped Efes set a new season-high in assists (26). Jones had a career-high 15 points on 7-of-7 two-point shooting. Jones remained the most effective two-point shooter in the competition this season, having made 41 of 43 shots inside the arc (95.3% 2FG). He hasn't missed a two-point shot since Round 17 against Dubai Basketball.

"I think it started with the heart and mind, my preparation from days long in the past, just seeing how the situations have been and learning from my mistakes. And then I came out with a high level of focus and intensity. So I just want to keep on building on that and being present and have a high level of focus and intensity throughout the whole game," Jones said.

"We just listened to Coach. He taught us a lot from the last games. We have been learning and learning and learning. And I think everybody realized what we need to do. And today was an example of how we have grown as a team."

Efes ends its historic skid with teamwork, energy and star turns from Osmani, Jones, Dozier and Lee

Dubai got back to winning ways by beating Olympiacos 108-98 in overtime at Coca-Cola Arena on Tuesday evening. The hosts started strong and took a 52-40 lead at halftime, but Olympiacos fought back in the third quarter, trimming the deficit to 74-70 heading into the fourth, when the game turned into a back-and-forth affair. Mfiondu Kabengele made 2-of-2 from the line with 3 seconds to go, but Evan Fournier drilled one from deep, sending the game to overtime. Then Thomas Walkup nailed an open triple, which was Olympiacos’s only bucket in overtime as Dubai responded with a 13-0 run to seal the outcome.

Having registered its ninth home victory, Dubai improved its record to 12-14. Meanwhile, Olympiacos’s five-game winning run came to an end, with the Greek side dropping to 16-9. Dwayne Bacon and Mfiondu Kabengele scored 21 points each, with the latter also picking up 14 rebounds. McKinley Wright bagged 18 points and Aleksa Avramovic had 17 – 15 of which were scored in the first half. Tyler Dorsey recorded 18 points and Evan Fournier added 16 in a losing effort.

Jerian Grant was the hero for Panathinaikos, as his game-winning fadeaway jumper over Andres Feliz allowed the Greens to pull out an 82-81 win over Real Madrid. It looked like Grant, who had been one of Panathinaikos’s stars on the night, was going to be the villain after his foul on a Mario Hezonja layup gave Real Madrid a 1-point lead with 8.7 seconds remaining, but he made amends just 6 seconds later. The Greens notched their second win in a row and their third successive at Telekom Center Athens to improve to 16-10, while Los *Blancos* suffered their second straight defeat and fell to the same 16-10 record.

Along with Grant, who finished with 19 points and 7 assists, Kostas Sloukas shined bright with 22 points. Cedi Osman was Panathinaikos’s only other scorer in double digits, netting 12 points. The Greens had to see out the final 3 minutes without Richaun Holmes, who fouled out, and then the final 30 seconds without Kenneth Faried, who also racked up 5 fouls. Real Madrid’s Alex Len had his best game yet for the club with 18 points, while Hezonja added 13 and Facundo Campazzo chipped in with 11. Campazzo also entered the all-time top 10 in assists with the 5 helpers he had, moving above Panathinaikos legend Dimitris Diamantidis.

## Wednesday, February 4

### [Virtus Bologna vs. LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne (20:30 CET)](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/virtus-bologna-ldlc-asvel-villeurbanne/E2025/260/)

In Wednesday’s sole game, ASVEL (6-19) will attempt to finally grab its first road win of the season with a tough assignment at Virtus (12-13). The Italian team is riding a wave of optimism after Luca Vildoza’s last-second game-winner at Monaco last week, which also saw dynamic forward Derrick Alston continue his great form with a fourth straight double-digit scoring night. Virtus, just two wins short of the playoff places, will demand disciplined defense to subdue ASVEL’s impressive newcomer Braian Angola, whose 20 points nearly shocked Panathinaikos last week. The hosts will also look to cut off the supply lines provided by Thomas Heurtel, who dished 12 assists in that game. To boost its own scoring chances, Virtus will be able to welcome fit-again Carsen Edwards, who featured in the Italian League this past weekend.

This double week commences with a hectic slate Tuesday night before one game Wednesday
