If Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz fans were told before their team's game against Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul that star forwards Tadas Sedekerskis and Chima Moneke would combine for 5 points, not many of them would have predicted a win.
But that is exactly what happened and, luckily for Baskonia, Markus Howard made sure that he hit all the right shots at the right time to lead Baskonia to an 80-79 game in a game that could have gone either way.
Howard finished the game with 28 points, making 7 of 12 two-pointers and 4 of 13 three-pointers. He had 9 points in the fourth quarter and the go-ahead three-pointer with 7.9 seconds remaining. He got the ball from Codi Miller-McIntyre and took the shot while being fouled by Marko Guduric. Nothing but net.
"This is basketball at a high level, the EuroLeague. Many games finish like this, in the last possession. We had patience and played calm in a situation like this. Markus [Howard] really made one incredible shot," Coach Ivanovic said after the game.
Howard missed the additional free throw, giving Fenerbahce a chance to win the game at the buzzer. Guduric had scored twice in the final 2 minutes. He grabbed the defensive rebound and went straight for a one-on-one situation against Chima Moneke. He got a good look but his eight-meter shot hit the back of the rim.
"There is no better feeling that getting a tough victory in the EuroLeague, in front of our home fans. They brought the energy tonight and we are just happy to leave with the win," Howard said. When asked about his game-winning shot, he gave credit to Coach Ivanovic: "Coach drew a great play and we executed. Codi [Miller-McIntyre] made a great setup and my teammates just put me in a great position."
Baskonia fans also had the opportunity to see one of the best dunks of the season at the end of the first half. Howard missed a floater and Miller-McIntyre came out of nowhere to detonate a high-flying, one-handed put-back slam that sent the crowd to their feet.
Baskonia is 6-1 since Coach Ivanovic returned to the team. Half of those wins were by 1 point. Baskonia beat Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade 84-83 on late free throws by Moneke. It downed Olympiacos Piraeus 74-75 a week later on Miller-McIntyre's game-winning shot. Howard was the go-to guy this time, proving that any player in the team can be decisive in crunch time which of course, is great news for Baskonia fans.
