Nothing’s endless, isn’t it? Even Unicaja Malaga could lose in the Basketball Champions League, even though Ibon Navarro’s team looked unstoppable after winning 18 consecutive games.
Instead, Galatasaray got the job done 86-84 at home, finally ending last year’s winners’ historic and all-time best unbeaten streak in the competition.
James Palmer Jr. had the game-winning bucket and finished with 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists.
After struggling to make an impact early in his experience with the red-and-yellow powerhouse, Tyrone Wallace stepped up for 17 points tonight. Angel Delgado had 16 points and 9 rebounds.
Kameron Taylor (14 points and 6 rebounds) shot perfectly from the field but he wasn’t enough. Tyson Perez (17 points and 5 rebounds) tried his best as well.
While Galatasaray and Unicaja battled their way out of this encounter, in Group J at the same time Rytas Vilnius was hosting Manisa – that can’t count on Saben Lee anymore this season.
