The Turks grabbed the bull by the horns in the opening minutes, gaining a double-digit lead, which was then held and increased throughout the match. The guests only managed to make up and smooth the difference only at the end of the match.
Last season’s stats were reached Tuesday by beating attack leader Shane Larkin, who scored 23 points in exactly the same number of minutes of play. The defender, who hit all 3 colonies and 5 of the 8 triples, also took 3 balls.
Four of the last five matches, Anadolu Efes, caught up with Kaunas Žalgiris in terms of number of wins (12/9).
By the way, on Tuesday night, the Euroleague announced that on January 28. The showdown between last season’s leaders and Tel Aviv’s Maccabi in Israel has been postponed as the country closes its borders to further tighten the quarantine. The meeting may need to be moved to another state.

In the next match, the Moscow region club Chimki (2/20) showed unexpected struggles.
But neither the stubborn resistance nor the great play of leader Alexei Swede helped avoid a fourteenth consecutive loss.
The Russian team was defeated by Bayern Munich (13/9) in their own fortress with a score of 95:93 (26:15, 18:29, 29:31, 22:18).
After playing voluntarily, Chimki matched the ratio in the second half and gained a slim advantage in the third. The Germans had to fight until the last second.
Chimki’s composition was difficult to recognize on Tuesday. The team lacked Jordan Mickey, whose wife gave birth to a daughter who would join the Chimki austerity regime, who could leave Devin Booker, Stefan Jovičius and Sergei Karasiov in the near future. Last week, the team officially said goodbye to Jonas Jerebko and Greg Monroe.
So Andrejus Malcevas, who replaced Rimas Kurtinaitis this month, only had three legionnaires on his free bench: Latvians Janis Timmas and Dairis Bertans and Americans Errick McCollum.
At the Russian club, traditionally the initiative was taken by A. Švedas, who hit all 15 free throws, scored 32 points (4/10 from two points, 3/11 from 3-pointers) and made 11 assists, but made a mistake 5 times.
His overall performance was rated at 31 utility points, and that’s his personal best this season.
It’s true that in the fourth quarter, the Chimki star looked tired and couldn’t complete the decisive attacks. Although there are 17 seconds to play. until the final siren defender approached his own 2-point difference, the foul tactics could not escape.
“Chimki”: Alexei Švedas 32, Dairis Bertanis 15, Errick McCollumas 12, Sergejus Monia 9;
“Bayern”: Nick Weiler-Babb 25 (4/6 trit., 8 sec., 5 res.), James Gist 19 (8 cam), Jalen Reynolds 17, Paul Zipser 11, Wade Baldwin 10.
