Dimitris Itoudis saw his players get a double-digit lead at the end of the first half (43-33), which they retained in the 20 minutes that followed.

Fenerbahce are sitting at the top of both the Turkish league and the EuroLeague standings (7-1), having played one game less than their rivals, as their fixture vs. Besiktas was suspended so that the Turkish NT could prepare for the World Cup qualifiers.

The 2017 EuroLeague champs will face AS Monaco and EA7 Emporio Armani Milan in EuroLeague double week.

Johnathan Motley paved the way for the hosts, scoring 20 points on a perfect 7/7 from the field (5/5 2PT SHOTS, 2/2 3PT SHOTS), 4/8 FT, and rebounds. Samet Geyik contributed with 13 points and 8 rebounds, while Scottie Wilbekin finished with 11 and 4 assists. Nick Calathes had 8 points and 6 dimes for the Turkish champs.

For Dimitris Priftis' Tofas side, who are standing at 4-3, Rob Gray led all scorers with 16 points. Berk Ugurlu added 14, Emre Tanisan 11, and Tyler Ennis 10.
