Anadolu Efes showed what it is capable of during its convincing Round 27 win over ALBA Berlin, but coach Luca Banchi still expects more from his team.

Efes ‘still looking for its best level’, despite crushing ALBA

There were many reasons for [Anadolu Efes Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/anadolu-efes-istanbul/ist/) to worry ahead of Friday’s game against [ALBA Berlin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/alba-berlin/ber/), but coach Luca Banchi’s team went out and registered [a no-doubt-about-it 98-73 triumph](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/efes-blows-past-alba-98-73/).

The worries were because Efes was in a must-win situation against a team playing with nothing to lose, all while facing uncertainties about the availability of [Shane Larkin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/shane-larkin/007200/) and [Dan Oturu](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/dan-oturu/012788/). Moreover, the game was coming after a two-week break, with Thursday’s outcomes showing the unpredictability that Turkish Airlines EuroLeague games carry.

“It’s never easy after three weeks off,” Coach Banchi said in a EuroLeague TV interview after the game. “The results yesterday proved how difficult it is to rediscover the rhythm, and ALBA is the worst opponent in this situation.”

However, after some first-quarter struggles, all those worries just about disappeared in the second quarter as Efes built a double-digit lead and never looked back.

“It was an all-round great effort by the whole team, I hope we can just keep going,” said [Jordan Nwora](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/jordan-nwora/013363/), who led Efes with 18 points and 7 rebounds.

He was one of many players who stepped up as Efes had five guys score in double figures, while Larkin and [Darius Thompson](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/darius-thompson/011078/) combined for 15 assists.

It was a feel-good win that improved Efes to a 13-14 record, one win behind a 10th-placed [Real Madrid](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/real-madrid/mad/), but Coach Banchi refuses to look at it from that point of view.

“This is important to find team identity,” Banchi stressed. “It is not about the goals, it’s a matter of talking about a team still looking for its best level. It’s about becoming a better team, a more consistent team, and a more accountable team.”

Still, the goal is to reach the postseason and the win against ALBA was the step in the right direction. The key was, according to [Vincent Poirier](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/vincent-poirier/004887/), on the defensive end.

“We helped each other on the court, that’s the most important thing. On the defensive side, we always had someone ready to help, that should be there every game.”

Poirier, who finished with 14 points and 6 rebounds, stressed the importance of intensity and aggressiveness.

“We are still fighting, every game is like a final for us to get in the play-in and the playoffs,” the big man said.

“We have seven more games, and every night we have to go out with the same energy and the same desire to prove ourselves,” Banchi added.

Efes is now 10-0 against ALBA on its home floor this century

Efes blows past ALBA, 98-73

Anadolu Efes Istanbul got back on the winning track by downing the visiting ALBA Berlin 98-73 on Friday night. This win improved Efes to a 13-14 record, just one win behind 10th-placed Real Madrid, while already eliminated ALBA remained in last place, dropping to 4-23.

Efes took control of the game with a 13-0 second-quarter run, after which ALBA never got closer than 8 points the rest of the way. Jordan Nwora led Efes with 18 points and 7 rebounds. Rolands Smits finished with 17 points, Vincent Poirier scored 14, while Elijah Bryant and Derek Willis each scored 12. Shane Larkin had 8 points and dished 8 assists. Meanwhile, Yanni Wetzell scored 20 for ALBA, David McCormack had 13 points and Matt Thomas netted 10 in defeat.

Rodrigue Beaubois hit a jumper and Bryant scored 5 points, including a three-point play, but Matt Thomas nailed a triple before Wetzell scored 5 points, including a three-point play, to open 9-14 lead. But Efes scored the next 6 points, a run sparked by Bryant, before Smits and Nwora nailed back-to-back three-pointer to make it 21-16. ALBA tied it back up through Louis Olinde and Hermannsson, as the first 10 minutes featured six lead changes and five ties, but Efes ended up taking a 24-21 lead into the second quarter.

The trend continued in the second quarter, which Hermannsson opened with a three-point play, then Wetzell followed it up with a dunk. But Nwora answered with a three-pointer. Larkin fed Poirier for a dunk and Nwora for a wide-open triple, then back-to-back triples from Derek Willis opened 42-29 lead with 4 minutes left in the half. Justin Bean’s three-point play snapped a 13-0 run, and Olinde also had a three-point play, but Efes held 48-35 at halftime.

Poirier and Willis extended the margin to 16 points in the early going of the third quarter, but Wetzell had a three-point play and Thomas nailed a three-pointer to make it 53-43. Bryant answered with a three-point play, but McCormack’s three-point play got ALBA within 56-48. However, Nwora nailed another triple, later added a basket-and-1, then beat the end-of-the-quarter buzzer with a put-back layup to make it 68-55 after 30 minutes.

Procida had a four-point play that cut the lead to 70-59 early in the fourth, but Larkin nailed a three-pointer. McCormack and Poirier traded close-range baskets as the margin remained in double figures, before layups from Poirier and Wills made it 82-65 with exactly 5 minutes left. A three from PJ Dozeir and an acrobatic layup from Larkin broke the 20-point barrier, 87-65, before Efes closed out the game.

Panathinaikos finally collected its first road victory of 2025 by fending off ASVEL 93-96 to avoid a slip-up after the return from the national-team break.
