Fener “bent” Mirotic and Armani in overtime with a terrible Papagianni!

The match:

The game was quite balanced in the first minutes of the match (8-8), with the Armani Milan to find a 10-0 run midway through the first period, putting the score in her favor 18-8 at 4′. Fenerbahce’s response came hand in hand Marko Guduric, who with nine personal points in the last minutes, reduced the difference to 4 for the 19-23 of the quarter.



With their good defense as an ally, but also the nervousness that the Italians brought to their game, the team of Dimitris Itoudis, not only balanced the match, but also went ahead with a lasting counterattack, making it 35-32 in the 17th minute, thanks to consecutive three-pointers Papagianni and Wilbekin. A difference that was maintained until the finale, with the Turks going to the locker room with the 38-35 in the first half.
