The last time they lost at Fenerbahce was in mid-December when they had no chance against Žalgiris in Kaunas. But since then, Igor Kokoshov has seemed to recharge his team.
Fenerbahche, who went unbeaten in the Euroleague for a month and a half, led most of the match and held an 8-point lead at the end of the third quarter (66:58), but Zenit endured an impressive streak, after they already led 74:69 in the deciding quarter.
However, when it was most needed, Fenerbahce once again dominated the square.
13 straight points allowed the hosts to play 82 minutes ahead with four minutes to go, and accurate shots from KC Rivers, Kevin Pangos and other players in the final minutes did not change the outcome of the match.
E. Ulanov appeared solidly among the winners. He scored 8 points in 17 minutes (3/4 doubles, 2/2 penalty), bounced 3 balls, made a successful pass, committed three times and scored 9 utility points.
