Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul was in rare form on Thursday in trouncing Khimki Moscow Region for its eighth straight win. While it would be an exaggeration to say that what Fenerbahce is doing under Coach Igor Kokoskov in their first season together is something never-before-seen, many things his charges accomplished in Moscow have not been seen in more than a decade.
The club had the second-best two-point shooting night in EuroLeague history by making 29 of 34 two-pointers (85.3%). The best ever – 87.5% by Panathinaikos Athens against EWE Baskets Oldenburg – was in 2009. Four Fenerbahce players posted performance index ratings of at least 23 - Lorenzo Brown (25), Nando De Colo (23), Dyshawn Pierre (26), Jan Vesely (27). The last time that happened in a EuroLeague game was 11 years ago. Together they helped the club record a collective PIR of 155, which tied the ninth-best ever in the competition and smashed the Fenerbahce record of 143, which it set as Ulker against Kinder London Towers in October 2001!
