Fenerbahce made the first step forward to Vitoria’s Final Four on Tuesday with a 33-point win over Zalgiris in Istanbul, the third biggest blowout in the playoffs history.
Zalgiris enters the list as the fourth team to suffer a 30-point defeat in the playoffs since 2005.
Montepaschi Siena still holds the negative record with its 48-point defeat to Olympiacos in Piraeus, though interestingly enough they turned the tide and won the next three games against the Reds.
Benetton Treviso’s 39-point loss to TAU Ceramica (Baskonia) is the second-biggest defeat, with the Spanish side finally advancing.
CSKA Moscow also handed Panathinaikos a 30-point defeat in the 2014 plaoyffs, in the fifth game of the series.
Here are the games with the biggest margin of win in the history of the EuroLeague playoffs.
