In the first game of the evening, Crvena Zvezda secured another home victory, defeating Bayern Munich 103-73.
Ibon Navarro’s team, just like two days ago against Maccabi, dominated from the first minute with excellent defense. Christian Koloko showed that he will be a significant addition, and by halftime, Zvezda had a 17-point lead (48-31).
The home team’s advantage only grew until the end, leading Zvezda to their sixth win in nine rounds. On the other hand, Bayern remained at two wins.
Zvezda had six players scoring in double figures, with the top scorer being Chima Moneke with 15 points, along with five rebounds and assists. Jordan Nwora and Tyson Carter scored 14, Christian Koloko 12, as did Semi Ojeleye.
On the other side, Myles Norris and Duane Washington led the scoring list with 14 points each.
Paris completes a perfect double round
Paris achieved their second away victory in the double round by defeating Maccabi Tel Aviv 99-94.
Nadir Hifi probably played his best game of the season, finishing with 26 points, while Tyson Etienne followed with 13, and Sebastian Herrera with 12 points.
For the hosts, Jimmy Clark ended the game with 21 points, Bonzie Colson and Roman Sorkin had 16 each, and Yam Madar had 13 points and nine assists.
The decision came in a thriller and free-throw finish, with Paris celebrating another away win and deepening Maccabi’s crisis. Paris now has a record of 3-6, while Maccabi has two wins from nine matches.
Unstoppable Real Madrid
In perhaps their toughest test of the season, Real Madrid dominated Fenerbahçe 95-76 at home to extend their winning streak to ten games, including six in the EuroLeague.
Theo Maledon led the way with 26 points, despite briefly worrying fans after a bad fall in the first quarter. Campazzo added 10 points and 10 assists, while Horton-Tucker scored 16 for Fenerbahçe, all in the first half.
Fenerbahçe started aggressively, taking an early lead before Campazzo brought fresh energy off the bench. Madrid gradually tightened their defense, with Tavares and Luwawu-Cabarrot sparking a crucial 6-0 run in the second quarter. Despite a scare when Maledon appeared to injure his knee, Madrid went into halftime ahead 47-42.
The third quarter was physical and full of mistakes, but Tavares dominated the paint as Madrid built a 70-55 lead heading into the final period.
Fenerbahçe fought back to cut the deficit to eight, but Maledon stepped up when Madrid needed him most, securing the 95-76 victory.
It was Madrid’s tenth consecutive win and sixth straight EuroLeague victory, turning their 0-3 start into a 6-3 record. Pedro Martínez’s team looks unstoppable.
