Fenerbahce Beko secured a 111 – 96 win Friday against Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz in Round 27 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague.
The Istanbul club recorded a new scoring record in the club’s history and a club record with 32 assists in the EuroLeague.
“We were not good on defense, that’s why we have so many offensive records,” Fenerbahce coach Sarunas Jasikevicius said after the game.
Fenerbahce had six double-digit scorers, paced by Nick Calathes who had 11 points and 12 assists at the Ulker Sports And Event Hall.
Nigel Hayes-Davis had 19 points, Tarik Biberovic scored 17 and Nate Sestina added 14 in the win. Marko Guduric came off the bench to score 13 points and Johnathan Motley helped the Istanbul club with 11 points.
Vanja Marinkovic was the high scorer for Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz with 18. Daniel Diez had 15 points in a losing effort.
The win improved Fenerbahce to 16 – 11 for the season — two wins up on Baskonia, which dropped to 14 – 13.
In another Friday game, AS Monaco defeated Barcelona 77-67 at the Palau Blaugrana.
“The team reacted great. We were very physical and we won the game defensively,” said Monaco head coach Sasa Obradovic.
Mike James led the French club with 17 points and eight rebounds while Barcelona’s Jan Vesely had a double-double with 19 points and 10 boards.
Barcelona are second with 18 wins and AS Monaco are fourth with 14.
