With a career high performance by Kostas Sloukas and Ekpe Udoh tying some personal records, Fenerbahce checked in “Abdi Ipekci”performing highly concentrated basketball game and downing 103 – 87 Galatasaray in the process.
Fener remains perfect after four consecutive wins, while Galatasaray has yet to taste victory in Euroleague.
Coach Obradovic’s players held a steady control of the situation for the vast majority of the match’s duration, always pushing back their opponents’ comeback efforts which mainly derived after some small outburts.
The “Cimbom” were once again a bit disappointing, losing their grip in the game quickly, despite an explosive start.
As mentioned above, the Sloukas/Udoh duo worked wonders for Fener. The Greek combo guard finished the match registering a scoring career high in Euroleague with 24 points, while also nailing the three-point basket for the 82 – 93 and less two minutes to go, more or less the knock-out blow for Gala.
Udoh tied his personal best in points and offensive rebounds with 21 and 6 (he grabbed a total of 13) respectively
For the hosts, Austin Daye dropped 16 points, a probably underused Russ Smith 15 (in less than 13 minutes) and Justin Dentmon 14.
