Fenerbahçe Return to Winning Ways with 84-65 Victory over Baskonia

Fenerbahçe returned to winning ways with an 84-65 victory over Baskonia. Following two defeats against Valencia and Real Madrid, the team took the court and got past its opponent.

Baskonia took advantage of the home side's loose defense at the start of the game and, after Yoksimović's three-pointer, moved ahead 13-17. However, that advantage did not last long. Fenerbahçe closed the first period on a 20-1 run and went into the second with a 15-point lead.

Dwight Powell entered the game in the second period and delivered a good performance. The lead grew past 20 points, making the score 50-27. The second half was never in doubt. Kenneth Faried was injured during this relatively calm stretch. With the score at 70-43 in the fourth period, Wade Baldwin was ejected after receiving his second technical foul for throwing the ball at the referee.

The game's best player was Horton-Tucker. In his Fenerbahçe uniform, he recorded 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Powell contributed 3 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in 13 minutes in his first Euroleague game. For Baskonia, Kenneth Faried stood out with 10 points and 15 rebounds.
