Fenerbahce secured an 87-72 victory over Olimpia Milano in their EuroLeague Round 17 matchup away from home.
Talen Horton-Tucker led the visitors to an important win with 23 points (10/17 for two) and five rebounds, while Bonzie Colson added 20. Tarik Biberovic finished the game with 14 points, one more than Wade Baldwin IV, while Brandon Boston had 11.
For Olimpia Milano, Armoni Brooks scored 18 points, while Quinn Ellis and Marco Guduric each contributed with 13 points.
Armani couldn’t close out a fantastic double week, which they started with a victory against Real Madrid. On the other hand, Fenerbahce redeemed themselves to their fans for the loss in Istanbul against Panathinaikos.
Most of the match was evenly contested, but a decisive run by Fenerbahce at the start of the fourth quarter proved pivotal. The visitors pulled away to a double-digit lead, maintained it until the end, avoided any drama, and claimed the triumph.
Fenerbahce now stands at 10-6 and will host Barcelona in a spectacular next round. Meanwhile, Armani has nine wins and eight losses and is set to face an away game in Dubai.
