The Virtus prevailed Bologna with 86-82 in Italy, in the game that opened the curtain of its 11th race . In 9-2 the Turks went up, who do not understand injuries. What if they lined up in another game with a lack of regional line, what if they were back in the score even with two-digit differences in key points of the match, Sarunas Yasikevicius’ hard-luck Fenerbahce found the way to do the twist and get another great double, this time at the seat of Virtus Bologna. The Turks prevailed 86–82, thanks to large three-pointers by Gunturic and Hayes Davis and rose to 9–2, remaining at the top of the Euroleague ranking. Virtus Bologna had the chance to get the victory in the finale, but Payola missed in the final three-point victory, even though he was found unmarked. In 2–9 Luca Bunky’s team fell, which lost another game in the details. THE DECALEPTAS : 22-23, 38-37, 61-56, 82-86.
