Fenerbahce gave the league leaders a taste of their own medicine with a defensive masterpiece for a 66-51 victory that was the second-lowest scoring output by Real this century!

Real’s Walter Tavares had game-highs of 14 points and nine rebounds.

Malcolm Delaney scored a season-high 20 points, and Kyle Hines added a double-double on his historic night as Milan held off a stiff challenge from Zalgiris for a 70-74 victory at Zalgirio Arena. Hines collected five offensive rebounds to become the EuroLeague’s all-time leader in that category with 706. The win lifted Milan’s record to 16-7 to remain third in the standings.
