Fenerbahce opened this season in a very stuttering way with a 5:10 balance in its first 15 games. But since then she has found the edge and the direction and never stops winning. Tonight she scored 84:89 over Alba Berlin, and climbed to a 10:15 balance with her tenth straight win at the factory.
Nando de Colo was the hot man (even if not off the arc where he stood on 1 of 6) with 26 points and 8 assists. Throughout the game a pattern developed in which at the beginning of each of the first three quarters Alba led by a small margin and towards Sevium each quarter Fenerbahce took control of things and took the lead. In the last quarter she no longer let go of the lead, the difference had already reached 13 points and her victory was not really in danger.
The match that was supposed to take place between CSKA and Panathinaikos was postponed due to the outbreak of Corona in Oded Katash’s team, when the Israeli coach was with the Israeli team in a bubble in Poland.
Valencia surprised Real Madrid with a 78:89 victory. Sam Van Rossum led the winner with 16 points, 20 of Jesse Carroll did not help Blancos. It was Real’s second straight loss (10:12) at the factory after the defeat they suffered from Basconia two weeks ago (84:64). Valencia rose to 12:13.
In another game: Wheelerban – Bayern Munich 79:87, Red Star Belgrade – Zenit St. Petersburg 76:75.
