In the final round of the regular season, Real Madrid tonight (Thursday) secured their place in the Euroleague playoffs after defeating Fenerbahce 67:93 in Istanbul.
Real got Sergio Yui back after a long absence due to injury.
The Blancos scored 19 threes in the game at an incredible 50 percent.
Fabian Kozer scored 20 points and Gabriel Dek added 18. Real will know their final position in the top eight only after Friday's games.
There is one more place left in the playoffs and it will be decided between Zenit St. Petersburg and Valencia. The Spaniards tonight defeated 81:86 Basconia, who finished the Euroleague season. Valencia now need one loss from Zenit in their two games (Maccabi Tel Aviv on Friday and Panathinaikos on Monday). If the Russian team wins, it will advance to the playoffs.
