The 2017 EuroLeague champs had a rough first half defensively, as they conceded 40 points to Dacka. But as soon as the second part started, things were easier for Sasa Djordjevic's squad, which had four players in double digits and several others contribute. Fenerbahce finished the game with 32 assists and 19 turnovers.

On the other hand, the 2018 EuroCup champs got almost everything (35 points) from Nathan Boone and Troy Caupain, but committed 18 turnovers that allowed the hosts to score easy points.
