Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul produced a superb night of three-point shooting to secure a much-needed 94-97 victory over Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade at Stark Arena on Thursday night, strengthening the Turkish team’s position in the playoffs places and also seizing the head-to-head tiebreak advantage over the hosts.
Coach Dimitris Itoudis’s team made 14 of its 26 attempts from beyond the arc, with three players responsible for nearly all the damage: Marko Guduric converted 4 of 5 from beyond the arc and Scottie Wilbekin hit 3 of his 7 attempts, but they were bettered by a flawless Dyshawn Pierre who struck all 5 of his three-pointers on his way to a new career high of 21 points.
