More and more Euroleague games are postponed following the Corona, but with all that, two games from the 21st round took place tonight (Thursday). Monaco completed a seasonal sweep over Bayern Munich with 78:83 and thus clung to it in the table. In the second game, Barcelona, the league leader, hoped to forget their last two losses, when they hosted Andulo Zero, the same team that beat them in the final last year, and actually managed to take revenge with a close 77:82. The story of the evening came from the Turkish coach, who was sent off during the third quarter, and did not remain indebted to the local crowd.
Barcelona – Andulo Zero 77:82
The first quarter opened with positive momentum in favor of the Turks, but thanks to a 0: 6 run, they managed to get out of this quarter with a two-point advantage. Both teams increased pace during the second quarter with good offensive displays, when at the end, Andulo went down to the break with a 40:41 advantage. The story of the game came at the start of the third quarter. Argin Atman, the visiting team coach, was sent off following complaints to the refereeing team when he was unwilling to leave the field. When he finally chose to get off the floor, the coach signaled to the crowd of the host movement that the movement was accompanied by a shout, “I won the trophy.”
On the field, the better team was the Spanish team, thanks to a good performance by Rokas Yukobaitis with 16 points. The last quarter was very tense, the Turks pressed the Spaniards thanks to excellent performances by Vasily Mitchic (18 points) and Shane Larkin (17 points), but they also failed to help their team win. In the end, the team of Sharonas Jasikevicius returns to the winning track and continues to lead in the factory table with a balance of 16 wins against only four losses.

Although the game opened well for the French with a number of runs, at the end of the first quarter they were down by only one point. In the second quarter, Bayern managed to reverse the lead several times but despite that, they went down 40:35 behind. In the third quarter of the game, Sasha Oberdovic’s side managed to widen the gap even further thanks to excellent performances by James (26 points) and Andjucic (16 points), while Othello Hunter also handed out great assists to his teammates. In the fourth quarter of the game, the Germans managed to stress Monaco thanks to a single performance by Walden (26 points), but all that was not enough for Andrea Trincieri and his team, who record their fourth loss in five games.
