ALBA Berlin had to battle for 45 minutes to beat Virtus Bologna 88-90 in overtime in Round 13, improving its record to 3-10 in the process. In particular, ALBA's players with links to Italian basketball made sure their names were noticed at Virtus Segafredo Arena.

[ALBA Berlin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/alba-berlin/ber/) had to battle for 45 minutes to [beat Virtus Segafredo Bologna 88-90](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/alba-beats-virtus-in-ot-88-90/) in overtime in Round 13, improving its record to 3-10 in the process. In particular, ALBA's players with links to Italian basketball made sure their names were noticed at Virtus Segafredo Arena.

[Gabriele Procida](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/gabriele-procida/008384/) started the game on fire, getting 9 quick points, including a show-stopping dunk that gave ALBA an early 11-19 lead. He kept pacing his team throughout the game, finishing it with 20 points on 6-of-8 two-pointers, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and a PIR of 16. It was not a regular game for Procida, born in Como, barely 50 kilometers away from Milan and less than 300km away from Bologna.

Asked about being in Italy after the game, Procida confirmed that a lot of people came to see him play. "Everybody from my family: my aunt, my parents... everybody. It was just a game but I had a lot of friends and family here, so it was a special game," Procida said. "Coming back to Italy to play against a great team like Virtus, in this arena, with these crazy fans, was very good."

On the other hand, [Matteo Spagnolo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/matteo-spagnolo/008173/) is from Brindisi, almost in the southern end of Italy. Spagnolo had an all-around performance and stepped up in key moments of the game, hitting 5-of-5 free throws in clutch time and missing the sixth attempt on purpose to run the game clock down. When the dust settled, Spagnolo had 10 points, a career-high 8 rebounds, 5 assists and a PIR of 16.

Gabriele Procida and Matteo Spagnolo each had a PIR of 16 of ALBA Berlin in an 88-90 overtime road win over Virtus Segafredo Bologna.

Procida, Spagnolo step up in Italu

Procida and Spagnolo were not the only players with links to Italian basketball. [David McCormack](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/david-mc-cormack/013386/) started the 2024-25 EuroLeague season with EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, seeing very limited playing time. In five previous games, one of them against ALBA, McCormack averaged 1.9 points, 1.1 rebounds and a PIR of -0.3. 

McCormack started against Virtus and proved to be a really solid addition, getting 16 points, 14 rebounds, 4 steals and a block for a PIR of 24. McCormack's arrival, added to the fact that backcourt stars [Martin Hermannsson](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/martin-hermannsson/008780/) and [Matt Thomas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/matt-thomas/008967/) are back in action, made ALBA a solid team.

The American center stated that a quick adjustment helped him get good individual results right away. "You have to learn fast, you have to adjust fast. But one thing about my game is I play hard and I play with passion, and that translates to every team," McCormack said. "A lot has paid off, a lot of hard work. I'm thankful."

Hustle was there, too. ALBA finished the game with 21 offensive rebounds, a new club record. It had previously grabbed 19 offensive boards in a 67-71 home loss against LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne on October 8, 2021. As many as eight ALBA players grabbed at least 1 offensive board and ALBA outrebounded Virtus 42-54. Those 54 rebounds are a EuroLeague season high and the best mark in a game since the four-overtime instant classic between Real Madrid and Anadolu Efes Istanbul. ALBA had never grabbed more than 46 rebounds in a EuroLeague game before.

Virtus Segafredo Bologna v ALBA Berlin (2024-12-04T19:45:00.000Z)

Despite being one of the elder statesmen in the EuroLeague, there was no way for the KK Crvena zvezda players to stop the 37-year-old Fabien Causeur in Round 13. Particularly when it came to pulling up for three-point shots.

Fabien Causeur turned back the clock as Milan stayed red hot

Despite being one of the elder statesmen in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, there was no way for the [Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/crvena-zvezda-meridianbet-belgrade/red/) players to stop the 37-year-old [Fabien Causeur](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/fabien-causeur/001392/) in Round 13. Particularly when it came to pulling up for three-point shots.

Causeur made history in [EA7 Emporio Armani Milan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/ea7-emporio-armani-milan/mil/)’s [101-86 triumph over the Serbian side](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/milan-breezes-past-zvezda-101-86-for-fourth-straight-win/) on Wednesday night by going 6 for 6 on triples – a club record for most threes made without a single miss.

“I made the first two so my confidence went on the top,” Causeur told EuroLeague TV after the game. “I got my flow during the game, found open shots from my teammates. I think [Nico Mannion](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/niccolo-mannion/011064/) found me 2-3 times. I’m here for that. I want to make them.”

The Milan guard turned back the clock and ended the game with a season-high 20 points in just over 24 minutes on the court. Having made at least one three-point shot in seven of his last eight games, the two-time Turkish Airlines EuroLeague champion now needs just 9 points to reach 2,500 for his illustrious career.

More importantly, though, he inspired Milan to its fourth win in a row, bouncing back after a slow start to the 2024-25 campaign.

“We have a young team,” Causeur added. “We had a rough start \[to\] this season. We were 1-5, playing bad. We needed time. There were eight new players in the team. So, it takes time. And the EuroLeague is very hard, it’s a very tough schedule. Game after game after game… Now we start to play better, we have good confidence. We have to keep growing like this but stay humble at the same time.”

Assisted by [Nikola Mirotic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nikola-mirotic/000796/), who netted a game-high 23 points marking the seventh time this season that he has scored over 20 points, as well as Mannion, who chipped in with a career-high 20 points, Causeur helped Milan keep its momentum going.

The Italian side is now scheduled to host LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne on Friday as it looks to extend its winning streak to five games. Winning runs may well lead to complacency, but in Causeur, Milan has a EuroLeague veteran who will ensure that his team can thrive through humility.

Milan breezes past Zvezda, 101-86, for fourth straight win

EA7 Emporio Armani Milan extended its winning streak to four games by defeating Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade 101-86 at Unipol Forum on Wednesday night. The hosts secured a double-digit lead in the first quarter and managed to maintain it for the majority of the game, outscoring Zvezda in each of the four quarters. With this victory, Milan improved its record to 7-6, with the Serbian side dropping to 6-7.

Nikola Mirotic netted a game-high 23 points, with Niccolo Mannion and Fabien Causeur scoring 20 each. The latter did so by making a perfect 6 for 6 from deep - a club record for most threes made without a miss. Zach LeDay chipped in with 14 points and 7 rebounds. For the guests, Yago Dos Santos scored 17 points, Dejan Davidovac netted 12 and Isaiah Canaan added 14.

LeDay opened the scoring with a floater before a layup from Giampaolo Ricci and a triple from Mannion gave Milan a 7-3 lead. A mid-range jumper from Codi Miller-McIntyre was followed by another Mannion three-pointer, before 6 unanswered points from Mirotic made it 16-5 for the hosts. Miller-McIntyre ended Milan’s 9-0 run with a layup, but Causeur nailed one from deep and then set up Mirotic for an easy basket inside to secure a 23-9 cushion. Yet, Zvezda responded, with Canaan sinking two straight triples that trimmed the deficit to 23-15 heading into the second quarter.

Freddie Gillespie completed a three-point play against his former team for his first Milan points. Canaan responded with a floater, but Causeur scored another triple to maintain a 29-17 lead. Two Gillespie baskets sandwiched another Canaan triple before Causeur and Dos Santos traded threes, 36-28. Then, Davidovac took over with 8 points, including two buckets from deep that cut the difference to 40-36. Yet, it kept raining triples at Unipol Forum, as Milan replied, with LeDay and Mannion netting one each to extend the lead back to double figures. Rokas Giedraitis and Filip Petrusev opened their accounts before a Miller-McIntyre layup brought Zvezda within 47-42.

Five points from Mirotic were followed by a Mannion layup in transition and a LeDay basket inside for an 10-0 surge that allowed Milan to pull away, 63-44. Kalinic completed a three-point play to end Milan’s run, but Causeur responded with his fourth triple of the night, 66-47. Mitrovic scored inside, Branko Lazic drilled a corner triple and Dos Santos chipped in with a couple of free throws that trimmed the deficit to 70-54. Mannion and Dos Santos traded triples before a floater from the latter brought Zvezda within 73-61. Then, Mirotic nailed one from downtown to overtake Real Madrid legend Sergio Rodriguez and reached the eighth spot in the all-time scorers’ rankings, before Causeur’s fifth triple of the game restored a 79-65 Milan lead after 30 minutes.

Buckets from Mitrovic and Giedraitis kept Zvezda in the game, but Mirotic added 5 points to his tally to maintain an 84-71 cushion. A LeDay bucket inside was followed by a triple from Canaan before Shields, Mannion and Causeur scored back-to-back layups for a 92-76 lead with 04:50 left on the clock. Zvezda struggled to find open looks on offense and went scoreless for three and a half minutes, with Causeur netting yet another triple to make it 95-76 and finished the game off with 3 minutes remaining.

The hosts dominated from start to finish on Wednesday night

Olympiacos BC head coach Georgios Bartzokas got the better of his AS Monaco Basket counterpart Vassilis Spanoulis, who previously played under Bartzokas, in Round 13.

Bartzokas handed former protégé Spanoulis a lesson 

In an [80-89 road win](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/olympiacos-sinks-monaco-80-89-handing-spanoulis-first-defeat/) over [AS Monaco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/as-monaco/mco/), [Olympiacos Piraeus](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/olympiacos-piraeus/oly/) head coach Georgios Bartzokas personified the saying that you cannot teach old dogs new tricks.

The 59-year-old tactician drew on his wealth of experience to prevail over former protégé Vassilis Spanoulis, a 42-year-old former legend of the Reds who won back-to-back Turkish Airlines EuroLeague titles with the team in 2012 and 2013 as a player.

The latter was under the guidance of Bartzokas, who then returned for a second stint with the club in 2020, when Spanoulis headed into his final year on the court before taking up a coaching career with Peristeri in 2022.

It was the first time the two faced off in Europe’s premier club competition and Bartzokas got the better of his old friend and finest soldier, having suffocated Monaco’s normally lethal offense.

The French team’s top performer and the EuroLeague’s all-time top scorer Mike James was confined to a mere 10 points and although he was able to dish out 12 assists, Olympiacos had too much firepower for Monaco thanks to its deep roster.

Bartzokas masterfully pulled all the strings, calling the shots with an uncanny instinct of playing to his team’s strengths while taking full advantage of Monaco’s weaknesses – namely a lack of size, as the visitors dominated the paint at both ends of the floor.

Bartzokas gave a fair account of how the game panned out in his post-game comments. “We led most of the game and knowing that Monaco are so aggressive offensively with the individual talent to play one-on-one, we controlled the defensive rebounding and exercised patience on offense,” he said in a courtside interview. “We created plenty of open looks, our offense was solid and in the second half our defense was solid, too.”

[Shaq McKissic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/shaquielle-mckissic/007853/), who was named player of the game after netting 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the floor and 3 of 3 from the foul line, was relieved after Olympiacos was able to snap a three-game winless streak at Monaco.

“They are a very tough team and I am very happy with how we stepped up and how we performed,” the American forward said. “They gave us their best shot in the first half and I can’t remember the last time we won here. That was on my mind, they had a good game plan, but we executed.”

Having engineered 16 team assists in the first half, the hosts managed just 6 in the second much to the dismay of Spanoulis, who won his first-ever EuroLeague title with Panathinaikos in 2009 before he defected to the bitter rival’s camp.

“We gave Olympiacos confidence in the first half and they kept it in the second, when they hit on big shot after another,” said Spanoulis. “We shared the ball in the first half but in the second we were selfish and overall we needed to play much better defense. Congratulations to Olympiacos.”

In Round 14, Olympiacos hosts surprise leader [Paris Basketball](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/paris-basketball/prs/), a EuroLeague debutant which is on a nine-game winning streak, while Monaco entertains struggling [ALBA Berlin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/alba-berlin/ber/), with both games scheduled for Friday.

Experience made all the difference in a generational battle of two Greek coaches

AS Monaco v Olympiacos Piraeus (2024-12-04T18:00:00.000Z)

Olympiacos BC handed Vassilis Spanoulis his first defeat as AS Monaco Basket head coach, with the Reds winning 80-89 to improve to a 9-4 record.

Olympiacos sinks Monaco, 80-89, handing Spanoulis first defeat 

Olympiacos Piraeus ground out a valuable 80-89 road win at AS Monaco in Round 13 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and improved to 9-4, while the French side dropped to 8-5 after its new coach Vassilis Spanoulis tasted his first defeat in the competition.

Frenchman Evan Fournier paced Olympiacos with 19 points, player of the game Shaquielle McKissic poured 18 while Sasha Vezenkov and Nigel Williams-Goss chipped in with 14 apiece.

The outstanding Alpha Diallo led Monaco with a game-high 21 points, with Jaron Blossomgame adding 12. Georgios Papagiannis netted 11, while Elie Okobo and Mike James added 10 each, the latter also racking up 12 assists.

The lead changed hands time and again in a physical see-saw contest played at a frantic pace, with Monaco dishing out 16 assists in the first half while Olympiacos sank 8 three-pointers from 18 attempts in the opening two quarters.

Papagiannis did a lot of damage in the Olympiacos paint early on, scoring 7 points in the opening 10 minutes, but James was largely stifled out on offense by his markers, although he dished out a barrage of assists for his teammates to convert from close range.

A pair of triples by Fournier gave Olympiacos a 53-58 lead midway through the third quarter, but Monaco hit back instantly and nosed ahead 71-70 early in the fourth, with Diallo making shots from all over as he continued his fine run of form.

A long-range slugfest saw the visitors turn the tide and carve out a 74-78 advantage as Monaco committed several costly turnovers down the stretch. It was lights out for the hosts after Sasha Vezenkov hit one from deep to give Olympiacos an unassailable 77-87 lead in the dying moments, sparking loud celebrations among a vociferous contingent of away fans.

Olympiacos finished on a commendable 14 of 32 from downtown and restricted Monaco to a mere 6 assists in the second half, having won the battle of the boards 36-31 as Vezenkov, Nikola Milutinov and Thomas Walkup grabbed 6 rebounds each.

Spanoulis, who won back-to-back EuroLeague championships with Olympiacos as a player in 2012 and 2013 as a player, thus tasted defeat against his former mentor Georgios Bartzokas, who led the Reds to that 2013 title. It came after Spanoulis enjoyed a dream debut last week when he celebrated an 88-91 win at his other former club, Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens, where he won Europe’s premier club competition in 2009.

The visitors prevailed thanks to a smooth team effort and sound long-range shooting

AS Monaco Basket (8-4) and Olympiacos BC (8-4) face off in Round 13's Rivalry Series game, but which team do the Euroleague.net experts – Geoff Gillingham, Javier Gancedo, Igor Petrinovic and Frankie Sachs – think will come out on top?

Rivalry Series: Predicting the winner of Monaco vs. Olympiacos

All eyes will be on Vassilis Spanoulis at Salle Gaston Medecin on Wednesday night. In his first home game since taking charge at [AS Monaco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/as-monaco/mco/) (8-4), he comes up against a side that is very dear to his heart, [Olympiacos Piraeus](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/olympiacos-piraeus/oly/) (8-4). But in this latest Rivalry Series game, which team do the [Euroleague.net](http://Euroleague.net) experts think will triumph?

[Geoff Gillingham](https://bsky.app/profile/geoffgillingham.bsky.social), [Javier Gancedo](https://x.com/ganchetto), [Igor Petrinovic](https://x.com/IgorPetrinovic) and [Frankie Sachs](https://x.com/MrEuroleague) have all predicted their winner in this Rivalry Series matchup.

##### Remember, you can submit your vote via the poll at the bottom of the page.

**Geoff:** Everybody knows the significance of this game for Vassilis Spanoulis, but putting the emotional aspect to one side, one of the things that has impressed me since his arrival just last Monday is the ball movement he has implemented. Last Friday, Monaco dished a club-record 26 assists in a win at Panathinaikos, then followed that up by recording 27 assists in the French League against Bourg-en-Bresse. Jordan Loyd summed it up best when he said, "It was fun playing like this" after Monaco's triumph at OAKA. I expect the legendary Mike James to create a symphony with Monaco's offense and guide the hosts to a 9-4 record.

Geoff’s prediction: **Monaco to have 22+ assists, win by 6.**

**Igor:** Vassilis Spanoulis had a dream start to his EuroLeague coaching career, going on the road and downing the reigning champ Panathinaikos last week. Now, Monaco welcomes Spanoulis's Olympiacos. I don't think it will be too strange of a feeling for Spanoulis, who had plenty of opportunities to coach against Olympiacos over the past two seasons in the Greek League. What I like about this game, more than Spanoulis going against his former team, is the fact that this is a 'prove it' game for both teams. For Monaco, to double down on its win over the Greens. And for Olympiacos, to avoid consecutive losses in tough road games, following last week's defeat against Partizan. It will be a close one, but I think Olympiacos ends up getting a statement win.

**Frankie:** The Spanoulis effect will be tested again on Wednesday when Monaco hosts Olympiacos. And while this game is rich in storylines, it is the identity of Monaco’s new boss whom I feel will make the difference. Last season’s semifinals are of little relevance. What matters is that Olympiacos is coming off a loss and that Sasha Vezenkov is back from injury. Those are two reasons to like the Reds. But I believe that every day that Coach Spanoulis has with Monaco is a day he can mold the team more to his liking and deepen his relationship with star guards Mike James, Elie Okobo and Jordan Loyd. Am I putting too much faith in a coach about to stand on the sidelines for just the second time in the EuroLeague? Maybe. But Vasilis Spanoulis was no normal player. And I don’t expect his coaching career to be normal either.

Frankie's prediction: **Monaco wins by 3-4 points**.

**Javi:** Vassilis Spanoulis faces Olympiacos, where he reached legendary status to become its best-ever player. His No. 7 jersey was the first to ever be retired by the Reds. Emotions will be at a high level, but let's face it, Sasha Vezenkov is back and that is bad news for the rest of the league. Vezenkov makes a good team become a great team. Olympiacos has the edge when it comes to experience and talent, and Thomas Walkup is the perfect player to play good defense against Mike James. I see Olympiacos finding many advantages on offense through Vezenkov, Evan Fournier and Nikola Milutinov, who has been on fire lately. The Reds are set to take this one.

Javi's prediction: **Olympiacos by 7 or more.**

Vassilis Spanoulis comes up against the club he won two EuroLeague championships with on Wednesday night (19:00 CET)

Check out what the coaches and players are saying ahead of Round 13 of the 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season.

EuroLeague pregame quotes hub: Round 12

## Wednesday, December 4

### AS Monaco vs. Olympiacos Piraeus (19:00 CET)

**Vassilis Spanoulis, AS Monaco head coach**

"We still have a lot of room for improvement, but the guys are making a big effort to play together. Our team's identity is to share the ball. We haven't had much time to train with the matches, so I have a lot of things to say to the players, but we have to be intelligent. Olympiacos? Everyone knows what Olympiacos means to me, the incredible memories, the love of the fans, it's a special connection for me. Now in this game, it's our opponent. Olympiacos is one of the best teams in the EuroLeague, they're solid and they share the ball very well."

**Georgios Bartzokas, Olympiacos Piraeus head coach**

"We must have consistency in our game for 40 minutes. Monaco is a team that plays very well on offense and has very good ball handlers in their roster. They also move the ball well. For us, it’s important to stick to our game plan and to match their energy and athleticism."

**Moustapha Fall, Olympiacos Piraeus center**

"It is going to be a tough game. We know that. There is no easy game in the EuroLeague. \[Vassilis\] Spanoulis is a good coach, but it’s been only a few days since he took over Monaco. He will need some time to pass his philosophy to the team. Monaco is a very good team. I predict that tomorrow’s game will be something like a dogfight. We must play hard on defense and protect the ball."

### EA7 Emporio Armani Milan vs. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (20:30 CET)

**Ettore Messina, EA7 Emporio Armani Milan head coach**

"We face a very deep and well-organized team during a time of huge stress, both physical and mental. In order to win, we will have to put on the court the best defense we can possibly play, especially against their pick-and-roll plays, and have a solid help by everybody, particularly in terms of attention to small and crucial detail."

**Zach LeDay, EA7 Emporio Armani Milan forward**

"Our daily goal has to be improving and raise the level of our game, try to have an impact regardless of situations and in my case of the position I play at, no matter next to which player. This is what I ask myself and what I try to share with my teammates in a very long and demanding competition that you build game by game."

**Ioannis Sfairopoulos, Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade head coach**

"First game of the double round. We are playing against a very talented team, a team that scores points in different ways. They have the second-best offense in the league, so it is obvious that we have to be very focused on defense and make their offense less organized. Our offense also has to be very smart, to attack in the right ways in relation to what the defense gives us. They are in a great moment, even though they lost in the domestic league. They have good results now and we have to be very focused during the whole 40 minutes."

**Yago dos Santos, Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade guard**

"We are in a good moment before this game. We know it will be a tough game, because we are playing away, they play good basketball, I think we are getting better and I believe in winning in the double round."

### Virtus Segafredo Bologna vs. ALBA Berlin (20:45 CET)

**Luca Banchi, Virtus Segafredo Bologna head coach**

"ALBA Berlin will arrive in Bologna strong with the recovery of important players like \[Matt\] Thomas and \[Martin\] Hermannsson, in addition to the recent signing of \[David\] McCormack, who will help make their collective basketball even more effective. We will face this challenge with humility and determination to be able to control the pace and make the most of the opportunity to return to play at Virtus Segafredo Arena, where our energy and the emotional boost of our fans will be decisive."

**Momo Diouf, Virtus Segafredo Bologna center**

"Against ALBA Berlin, a tough game awaits us in our home, Virtus Segafredo Arena. We will have to stay united and match their energy. We need to win this victory to get out of this spell."

**Israel Gonzalez, ALBA Berlin head coach**

"Virtus is an intense team with a lot of individual class. With \[Will\] Clyburn and \[Toko\] Shengelia, they not only have a lot of power inside, but also a lot of experience. Virtus also has their fans behind them, which can give them an extra boost in the current situation."

**Tim Schneider, ALBA Berlin forward**

"This is a very important week for us. Of course, we've already thought of the cup game in Bamberg on Sunday, but now we've got two tough EuroLeague games coming up, which are just as important for us. Above all, we have to regain our confidence and our rhythm. That's the key to being successful this week."

## Tuesday, December 3

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

**Tomislav Mijatovic, Anadolu Efes Istanbul head coach**

"We are very excited to be back at home for the new EuroLeague challenge. With the help of our fans and the great atmosphere, we are looking to fight together against one very dangerous EuroLeague opponent who’s playing in a very high offensive tempo throughout this EuroLeague season so far. They are a team that is very well coached, having a great offensive balance and we know that we have to bring our great performance on both ends of the floor plus fight for every possession in order to reach our goal which is to win the game."

**Ercan Osmani, Anadolu Efes Istanbul forward**

"Unfortunately, we could not get the results we wanted in the last two weeks of the EuroLeague. Now, we want to start a new winning streak according to our goals and be at a higher spot in the standings, where we should be. Bayern Munich is a team that has been playing good basketball and has been at the top of the standings with remarkable results this season. That's why we need to be very careful. I think we will win this game by showing our team spirit and never giving up the fight for 40 minutes."

**Gordie Herbert, FC Bayern Munich head coach**

"This is not an easy time with many games; in the last two games, we haven’t played good basketball. We know how much talent there is in Efes’s team. But we ourselves have to overcome all adversities now, look ahead, and not feel sorry for ourselves. In Istanbul, we need to get back to controlling the tempo of the game through our offense and rebounding."

### LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne vs. Real Madrid (20:00 CET)

**Chus Mateo, Real Madrid head coach**

"Tomorrow we have to be prepared, play with energy and not slow down at any time. We have to maintain a high level during the 40 minutes because that is the demand that this competition has. ASVEL is a physical team that plays very well at home. They have well-known players with a lot of talent like \[Nando\] De Colo, \[Theo\] Maledon, \[Paris\] Lee... some of them with a lot of EuroLeague experience. \[Joffrey\] Lauvergne is an inside player capable of doing many things, playing inside-outside, one-on-one with face-up, with his back turned... We have to be very focused the whole game and match that physical level that ASVEL is going to put on the court." 

**Dzanan Musa, Real Madrid guard**

"The team is doing well, but we need to play much better if we want to win away from home. LDLC Arena is a difficult court, but we are prepared and we head into tomorrow's game with a lot of enthusiasm. ASVEL is a physical, talented team with a lot of strong points, especially at home. I think that if we are good on defense, we will have opportunities on offense to score fluently. Tomorrow we must pay special attention to defense and our defensive rebounding because if we do a good job in these two aspects of the game, on offense we have enough talent to win."

### Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv vs. Paris Basketball (20:05 CET)

**Oded Kattash, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv head coach**

"We prepared for them and watched their film, they play a different style of basketball and play well. It's refreshing to see a very distinct style instilled by a coach. It's even inspiring to a degree. We're expecting a challenging game."

**Levi Randolph, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv forward**

"I'm looking forward to playing tomorrow, it's another big game for us. They're a really good team. I've played a lot of their players in the past in the BCL championship \[game\] a few years ago, so it's a big thing for them. They did a great job in being able to further their careers, that's big time. Looking forward to stepping on the court against them tomorrow. We've been watching film on them and they look very similar \[to that Bonn team in the BCL championship game\]. They play fast, a lot of confidence, up-tempo. TJ Shorts runs the show, but he's got a lot of great pieces around him. A lot of similarities from the team I played against a few years ago, so like I said, I'm looking forward to getting onto the court against them tomorrow."

### Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens vs. FC Barcelona (20:15 CET)

**Ergin Ataman, Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens head coach**

"Yes, \[Kendrick Nunn is available\]. He took part in practice today, he always had some health problem but not very serious. He's a little bit weak, but he wants to take part in practice and I am sure that tomorrow he will be on the court. Maybe he will not be 100% physically, but we will deal with it.

"Kevin Punter is a great shooter, so we know that everybody needs to be careful with him. But also players like Jabari Parker, \[Jan\] Vesely... They are a good team. We are working on our defense, but more than defense, also offense is very important. We lost against Monaco, not because of our defensive mistakes but because of our offensive turnovers that we made, especially in the fourth quarter. We need to be smarter and have more game discipline in each period of the game.

"\[Ioannis\] Papapetrou didn't practice today and he won't play tomorrow, not because he's injured. I think also, in the game against Partizan, he will be out."

**Cedi Osman, Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens forward**

"Obviously we are struggling a little bit, but we know what we need to do and we know what kind of team we are. I wasn't here last year, but when we won the EuroLeague championship, we were winning with our defense. We know that's the most important thing for us. We will fix it. Tomorrow is a really important game for us, and it's going to be a great challenge. We're going to play against a very good team, against a team that is playing with a high pace. We'll have to run back and we'll have to be patient, offensively and defensively."

### Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade vs. Zalgiris Kaunas (20:30 CET)

Zeljko Obradovic, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade head coach

"It’s great that we’ll have the opportunity to see our former player, Alen Smailagic, as well as our former coach, Andrea Trinchieri. Based on their style of play, Zalgiris is truly his kind of team. They have the ability to adapt to any opponent, and it’s no coincidence that they are the team that has conceded the fewest points so far in the EuroLeague. Every detail in their game preparation is extremely important. We must pay attention to the rhythm of the game, as well as how we play and approach it. They have a lot of quality, having signed some exceptional players, and they are where they deserve to be. Even in some games they lost, they were close to winning. 

"I would like to add one more thing: We are very proud of what is happening in our arena and the number of fans we have, which is by far the largest, and by some measures, even compared to NBA teams. What I would like our fans to understand is that we have the most important goal ahead of us, which is the three-year license. In this sense, I would ask everyone to behave appropriately, not to throw any objects onto the court, such as coins or lighters. Also, no one should cross the line and enter the court, and no one should be insulted, because at the end, all of these will be factors that will affect whether Partizan will receive that three-year license. We all need to work on this – meaning the club's management, coaches, players, and fans – because we are all Partizan. It depends on all of us whether we will achieve what we most desire, which is to become permanent members of the EuroLeague. We want everyone to talk about our amazing atmosphere and for that image to spread across the world."

**Balsa Koprivica, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade center**

"They are a strong team and have been playing exceptionally well and consistently this season. They are multi-skilled in all positions, and we expect a very tough game. It’s crucial for us to stay focused going into this game and the double week."

**Andrea Trinchieri, Zalgiris Kaunas head coach**

"You know very well how specific and special it is for me to go to play Partizan in Belgrade. And if you add to the menu that now they are rolling, they are a very hot team, they won two great games playing close to perfection – offensively and defensively – plus the fans there raising the bar for any opponent to go there and try to play, you understand that it's a very, very difficult game. But, on the other hand, after the first game of the season against Baskonia, which cost us a lot, we regrouped, we're trying to understand the mistakes we did. This doesn't mean that we won't make the same mistakes again. Maybe we will have a different setup for the mistakes. At this moment, for every team in the EuroLeague going to compete, saying that we are going to compete at Partizan in Belgrade, it's a very hard job. We are no different. We need to stay very focused, we need to play very smart, very efficient. We sometimes need to be able to suffer, suffer the pressure, suffer that things won't be smooth, resist, sometimes hold our breath underwater for more than two minutes, which is not for everybody, and then stay in the game physically and mentally. Then at the end of the 40 minutes, look at the scoreboard knowing we did whatever we could in order to compete.

"I'm already seeing how \[Partizan's\] team is developing, how the team is blooming. I have a feeling that they can be one of the four teams at the Final Four. Seeing all the ups and downs of many teams... oof."

### Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz vs. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (20:30 CET)

**Sarunas Jasikevicius, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul head coach** 

"Baskonia is coming off a big win in Kaunas, coming back from 17 points. They are obviously a very dangerous team at home. A lot of offensive talent with the players like \[Chima\] Moneke and \[Markus\] Howard, with the great shooting of \[Nikos\] Rogkavopoulos. So it is very difficult to guard them. We have to be very careful about their athleticism on the front line and their ability of the offensive rebounding."

**Tarik Biberovic, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul forward**

"We are heading into another double-week game in the EuroLeague. In our last game, we couldn't display the performance we wanted and ended up with a poor result. We want to make up for that. However, we know that Baskonia is a team coached by a good coach, with talented players. They are effective in rebounds and especially playing good at home. Last week, they made an important comeback in Kaunas and won the game. They create a very strong atmosphere at home, and to win in such an environment, you need to play well for 40 minutes. We will try to do that."

Injury report, Round 13: Vezenkov back, Nedovic out

Olimpia Milano, led by Nikola Mirotic and new signing Nico Mannion, has vastly improved its performances in the EuroLeague and has won five of its last six games.

Hot Mirotic and dime-dropping Mannion: How Milano got their groove back

After the home loss to Anadolu Efes Istanbul in Round 5, [EA7 Emporio Armani Milan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/ea7-emporio-armani-milan/mil/) coach [Ettore Messina](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/ea7-emporio-armani-milan/mil/messina-ettore/) had some harsh criticism for the way his team played in some parts of the game.

“The first half was honestly a shame. The lack of competitiveness and the lack of effort in doing things together was really hard to watch,” Messina said. He had just watched his players losing by as many as 22 points and, ultimately, failing to complete a comeback.

That was Milano’s second straight loss at the Forum. One week before, Zalgiris Kaunas had handed them a defeat after pulling off the second-biggest turnaround in EuroLeague history by coming back from down 27 points.

“We need to go back to the gym, close the door and work as hard as we can. \[To\] understand if there is a way to get this back,” Messina commented.

The plight of Milano continued on the road against Baskonia, where the Italian powerhouse suffered its fifth loss in the first six games. They were in danger of falling way behind the pack, while a heavy shadow of doubt was looming over the Forum, considering that the team is coming from a two-year playoff drought.

Messina got his players in the gym and not only shut the doors, but also kind of outside noise. Their labor bore fruit and Milano turned its 1-5 losing record literally upside down with five wins over the next six games.
