Flashlights for eight! Djordjevic’s team also scored a goal against Real Madrid, which they defeated 66-51 in Istanbul in a postponed match for the 18th game of the Euroleague.
This was the 5th consecutive victory for the Turks, which went up to 12-10. Leading the way for the winners are Gooduric (12 points), Pierre (10 points, 8 rebounds) and Henry (8 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists).
On the other, for Lasso’s team -who fell to 20-4 and was forced into the first defeat after 9 games- only Tavares was saved (14 points, 8 rebounds). The “queen” is desperately misplaced (12/32 two points, 6/30 three points).
The match
Real started better the game and with Yul performing, gained a small lead (2-8) in the first 4 minutes. Nevertheless, Lasso’s players “disappeared” from the floor and then broke the baskets. With wonderful pluralism in scoring, Fenerbahce ran a series of 17-0 and closed the season with +11 (19-8)!
Yul and Tavares they were trying on their own to keep the “queen” upright, who reduced (21-16 in 17 ‘) while the hosts seemed short-circuited. Nevertheless, Djordjevic’s team found a way to get away in the final of the half (27-17), with the guests having 5/16 two points and 2/15 three points in this period!
The domination of the Turks continued in the first half of the 3rd period, when they shot at +16 (38-22 in 25 ‘). With a series of 6-0, Real somewhat reduced the difference (40-30), but Fener responded with 8-0 and closed the quarter with “air” of 18 points (48-30)!
At the start of the 4th period, the guests tried to approach, but they only managed to reach -11 (50-39 in 32 ‘). Djordjevic’s team had more solutions and with Akpinar shooting outside the 6.75m, they moved away again (56-41 in 33 ‘). The last minutes developed into a standard procedure, with Lasso throwing a white towel and the hosts comfortably reaching the pink card (66-51).
The quarters: 19-8, 27-17, 48-30, 66-51.
