Thanks to an excellent defensive performance, Fenerbahce defeated Zalgiris in Kaunas (57-66) and came one step away from the Final Four (2-1).
The Lithuanians led by as many as nine points in the first 20 minutes (26-17, 29-20, 32-23) and were in front by three at halftime (34-31).
In the second half, the Turks took over and conceded just 23 points. The visitors earned the lead (41-47, 56-62) and never looked back to seal the deal.
Only Marko Guduric and Jan Vesely scored in double figures for the winners, with 17 and 10 points, respectively. Nate Wolters was the best player of the losing squad, with 15 points.
Game 4 will be played at the Zalgirio Arena on Thursday (25/04).
