After the series they are Dyshawn Pierre, Scott Wilbekin and George Papayanis brought the maximum nine differences before the decisive quarter, Fenerbahçe simply shut down and disappeared for a full six minutes! He probably doesn’t even know what happened now Sarunas Jasikevicius, but he will have plenty of time for a deeper analysis to prevent similar things from happening in Istanbul next week. During the aforementioned interval, Fenerbahçe was left without a field goal, that is, it managed to score only three points from the free throw line, which Monaco materialized and returned the game to a dramatic note.
Great credit goes to the account Jordan Lloyd, whose triple immediately at the opening of the last quarter put a certain burden on the opponent’s back. After a few good saves Meme Zaite has further reduced the minus, in order to precisely Lloyd reduced it to only one possession. He brought a total turn around Deron Blossomgame with five consecutive points, including a three-pointer with five and a half minutes to go, with which he ignited the host and restored hope of victory!
He scored the first points for Fener from the game Tyler Dorsey only a minute later, but by then it was already too late. In the end, the leads changed, while perhaps the key moment was seen with two minutes to go when Sarunas Jasikevičius went crazy and received a technical foul due to complaints to the referees. The Lithuanian was unhappy that an unsportsmanlike foul was not awarded Donatas Motiejunas over the By Nigel Hayes Davies in an attempt to open a counter. When it is Sharas received a technical, the three referees reviewed the situation and subsequently called an unsportsmanlike foul Motiejunas. Hayes Davis he did hit two free throws, but he also Eli Okobo threw in one at the other end of the field, after which the home team had an additional attack, but did not use it. However, at that moment, Monaco had a point more (85:84) and a psychological advantage that was much more important.
Marko Gudurić briefly equalized from the penalty spot, but they The dial and Lloyd punished two lapses by the opponent’s defense and in the last minute Monaco had four points. Guduric failed to realize the attack and Lloyd from the line, he further increases the advantage that he cut like a sword Wilbekin with his sixth three-pointer tonight. But this was it Lloyd’s evening or at least a quarter since in the next attack he retaliated with the same measure and put an end to it!
Lloyd finished the game with 15 points, 11 of them in the last part! Motiejunas played a great match with 18 points in less than 20 minutes, while Okobo scored 13 points. Mike James had a poor shooting game with only eight points and only 2/7 from the field and all four misses for two. Admittedly, he made up for the lack of baskets by dishing out seven assists, along with as many rebounds.
The guests will have something to regret, because they gambled away the double break! Tyler Dorsey finished the match with 25 points and six three-pointers from eight attempts, while Wilbekin also hit six long shots for his 23 points. Guduric had five points, one rebound and one assist in 19 minutes.
The game was marked by injuries Sertac Šanli from one, that is John Brown on the other hand. We will see if both will be ready for the continuation of the series. The third match will be played on Wednesday at 19:45, and the host of this and the fourth match is Fenerbahçe.
