Fenerbahce missed the chance to beat Monaco for the second time in just a few days and take a big step towards the final four of the Euroleague.
"Knežev" reacted and equalized at 1:1 on their home field after tonight's victory 93:88.
The home team had a 16-point advantage in the first quarter, and Fener announced in the middle of the second quarter that they were ready for a big fight, so it could be predicted that excitement would follow.
Saša Obradović's team later completely stopped attacking, the Turks used it to turn around and get a big advantage (74:65), but Monaco found a way to avoid a defeat that would probably mean elimination.
Jordan Lloyd put an end to the triumph with a three-pointer 11 seconds before the end when he set the final score.
Donatas Motiejunas led Monaco with 18 points, Lloyd scored 15, and Eli Okobo scored 13...
Tyler Dorsey dominated in Fener (28, triples 8-6), while Scotty VIlbekin stopped at 25.
The third game is on May 1 in Istanbul.
And Barcelona retaliated against Olympiakos for the blow that the Greeks inflicted in the first match - 77:69 in "Palau Blaugrana" for the host.
The Catalans dominated from the start, already after the first quarter they had 13 differences, the guests only managed to lead by half a basket on two occasions in the 3rd quarter - everything else was in the sign of Barca, who definitely broke the match at the beginning of the last part.
Parker was the most effective with 24 points for the Catalans, Hernangomez (11) and Veseli (10) also scored in double figures, Peters stood out for the guests with 20 points, Mexico and Williams-Guest scored 10 each.
The series returns to Piraeus, the result is 1:1, Olympiakos takes home a break from Catalonia, but at least Barça remained in the race for the final four. The next two matches in Greece will be played on April 29 and May 2.
