After the Euroleague provided us with a particularly dramatic evening last night, the 24th round continued today (Friday) with five intriguing games. In the early game Fenerbahce continued their tremendous momentum when they put together their ninth win in a row in the Euroleague – 84:92 over the strong Zenit St. Petersburg.
Fenerbahce – Zenit St. Petersburg 84:92
The Russians, who started the season great, hoped to get back on the winning track after the close losses to Barcelona and Bayern Munich. However, Fener started the game a little better and finished the first half with a four-point advantage. Nando de Colo, who is in exceptional shape, continued to widen the gap in the second half but Billy Barron woke up with the Russians, and his eight quick points made the score in the final quarter.
Despite this, the Turks discovered a lot of character when de Colo took control of the game and led his team to a 14th victory this season at the factory. The Frenchman led his team with 24 points and 7 assists, Marco Godoric added 19 points and 6 rebounds. Following this, Igor Kokushkov’s team climbed to sixth place in the table. On the other side, Will Thomas stood out with 21 points and 6 rebounds.
