Mike James scored 18 points in the fourth quarter, but Fenerbahce were tremendous offensively and beat Armani Milano at home (92-85).

The Italians were in front by six in the first quarter (15-21), yet the Turks came back and tied the game at halftime (40-40).

The hosts went on a 27-18 run in the third quarter to earn a nine-point lead and take control of the match (67-58).

James exploded in the fourth quarter, though, and scored 18 points to help the visitors cut the deficit to three (79-76).

But, Marko Guduric made some big shots and led his team past Armani (92-85).

Guduric had a team-high 20 points for the winners, with Jan Vesely adding 17 points and five rebounds.

On the other hand, James was unstoppable for the losing squad, with 31 points, as Arturas Gudaitis and Mindaugas Kuzminskas posted 13 points apiece.

Fenerbahce claimed their eighth straight win and remained on top of the standings (11-1), whereas Armani Milano lost for the sixth time this season (6-6).
