Real Madrid Grind Out 74–69 Win at Fenerbahçe to Reclaim EuroLeague Top 3

The result puts home‑court advantage within reach with only Red Star left in the regular season.

Overview

  • Real Madrid, which won 74–69 in Istanbul on Thursday, improved to 23–14 to climb back into the EuroLeague top three.
  • Facu Campazzo scored 15 points and Trey Lyles added 12, with Lyles’ late baskets steering Madrid through a tense finish.
  • Coach Sergio Scariolo said the team needed a strong road win after recent losses in Vitoria and Piraeus and that it should lift confidence.
  • BJ Boston led Fenerbahçe with 21 points as the defending champions’ reported five-game slide under Šarūnas Jasikevičius continued.
  • Madrid now hosts Red Star in its finale with a chance to lock home court in the quarterfinals, which in EuroLeague means starting a best-of-five at home and avoiding the Play-In round.
