  Fenerbahce Istanbul – Bara
  

The Bara I finally broke his bad streak in Europe. To the set of Svetislav Pesic I had to sweat ink before a Fenerbahe very intense that he practically faced him until the end just to see how the Barcelonaists finally managed to win (74-80). It was not the best scoring performance of Nikola Mirotic, but the Montenegrin Hispanic, with 11 rebounds, again, was basic to the triumph of his own. In this case, next to a Vctor Claver that was erected as the top visitor scorer, with 17 points, and a Malcolm Delaney lethal from beyond the three-point line thanks to its proverbial blood fra. However, the key figure for the Catalans will be a Brandon Davies that was especially uncovered in the second half of the meeting to decisively mark the path of triumph.

The first part was an exchange of high voltage blows. The Bara started very toned, looking for its best version after three consecutive defeats in Europe that have done much damage. Nikola Mirotic, again the best on the track in the first 20 minutes of the game, had a lot to do with it, despite Vctor Claver beating him in scoring. Fenerbahe, meanwhile, had a hard time coming into play. And, above all, write down. Three and a half minutes took those of Zeljko Obradovic in opening his locker. And they had to do it from the free throw line. The Pesic came to place a blunt 0-11 and left the second period doubling their rivals (12-24).

The second bedroom, however, as much as the Bara tried to continue stomping and was able to leave by 18 points ahead in the light (12-30), it was clearly for Fenerbahe. Those of Obradovic were not only able to cut their disadvantage, but were even about to get ahead on the scoreboard before an opponent who seemed to have given his thrust and, in turn, have been infected with their failures when looking for solutions to write down. The intensity of the Turkish team, at times, even unhinged the Barcelona players.

Kostas Sloukas it was vital to that Fenerbahe reaction, as was also a Nando de Colo that he woke up briefly, after spending the first quarter practically indito, and that he will lose much of his luster again in the second part of the encounter. The best thing for those of Pesic, despite their hard partial defeat (27-18) is that they were able to prevent the locals from being placed ahead in the light, despite a dangerous unsportsmanlike committed by Hanga, how to take a shy three-point advantage to rest (39-42).

In the resumption, Bara was able to calm down. At least a little. A calm that was basic to reach the last period with a vent for nothing decisive, but is key from a psychological point of view. A lot to do with it had the emergence of a Brandon Davies absolutely decisive in scoring tasks and a Claver that was not only able to achieve decisive baskets, but also to provide valuable intangibles when it came to recovering the ball, either fighting for rebounds in attack or fighting defensive tasks. The Fenerbahe initially lowered the piston a little, but he knew how to keep things close enough (56-61 at the end of the third quarter) to take the duel in the fourth and final period.

Bara put things uphill as soon as the last quarter began. Fenerbahe managed to place himself for the first time ahead on the scoreboard (62-61) with a 6-0 run ended after a loss of Kuric. However, thanks to a Delaney with ice in the veins and Mirotic that, despite his low score, was again engaged in defensive tasks, those of Pesic were able to cut the local reaction on time and correctly look for ways to stay ahead in the light. A foul in attack by Derrick Williams, which will cost the Turkish team technique, allowed Pesic to build a seven-point lead (64-71) just under four minutes to the end of the game.

The Delaney's ability to score decisive triplesIn addition, he will be able to aupar those of Pesic to put 10 points (66-76) above a Fenerbahe who will lose Jan Vesely, condemned again by the personal, in the last moments of the game. Those of Obradovic, in spite of everything, looked for and found a way to continue tightening things before a Barça team that tried, without success, to put the game in the fridge. The intensity, for many minutes the great weapon of the Turkish team, will allow you to bring the outcome of the match to a very tight end in which the Barcelonaists will manage to win a victory that must be balsamic (74-80).
