The win moved the Turkish side out of the bottom two in Group C and left basement club Roma with a 0-3 win-loss record for the season so far although they have all seven of their home games still to come.

Will Solomon led the winners with 21 points, while Ibrahim Kutluay added 17 points off the bench. Mirsad Turkan lead the Fenerbahce attack with 12 points and 17 rebounds, while Damir Kaan also had a good night notching up 14 points.

For the visitors, the one highlight was Jon Stefansson's (pictured) seven free throws from seven attempts. Stefansson also added 13 points, while Erazem Lorbek had 15 points to his name.

A successful first period for the home side left them leading 20-10 after 10 minutes and having taken the lead they managed to retain it throughout despite a late rally from Roma seeing them increase their errors as the nerves began to jangle.
