EuroLeague came back with four more games on Friday evening to round out Round 10 of the competition.

First, Anadolu Efes Istanbul hosted Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade. Both teams had been inconsistent this season, and the game between them looked to be a good starting point to turn it around. Although Shane Larkin was said to have been dealing with a serious hand injury, the electric guard turned back the time and finished the match with 27 points and 38 PIR en route to a win.

Next, Olympiacos Piraeus welcomed Zalgiris Kaunas. It was the first game for Ignas Brazdeikis against his former team after transferring to Greece from the Lithuanian squad just before the start of the season. He played his best game of the EuroLeague season so far, while Olympiacos captured an easy victory.

15 minutes later, Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz played against AS Monaco. Two of the top scorers in the league - Markus Howard and Mike James - faced off as the Basques are tested against a contending team. Howard hit a clutch triple to tie the game with 6 seconds left on the clock, but Jaron Blossomgame's putback dunk sealed the deal for Monaco, as James played his best game of the season with 28 points in his tally.

To finish the evening off, Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade hosted EA7 Emporio Armani Milan as Shabazz Napier returned from a nose injury and played against his former team with a mask. Although the home team was up at halftime, Milan controlled the second half and captured an inspiring 22-point win.
