EuroLeague Round 6: Real Madrid's turnaround complete, Olimpia Milano hits rock bottom

Four games opened Round 6 of the 2026-2027 EuroLeague season, and three of them turned into statement nights. Real Madrid blew past ASVEL, Dubai Basketball shocked Olimpia Milano on its own floor, and Maccabi Tel Aviv stole one in Valencia. Fenerbahce rounded out the night with a win over Partizan.

Real Madrid completes the turnaround

Real Madrid routed ASVEL 111-92 at Movistar Arena, winning three of the four quarters (27-25, 34-23, 34-21) and only dropping the third, 16-23. The win completes a stunning turnaround: Los Blancos opened the season 0-3 and have now won three straight to climb to 3-3.

Andres Feliz ran the show. He dropped 26 points on 8-of-11 shooting from deep, adding 4 rebounds and 5 assists for a game-high PIR of 30. Theo Maledon ran the offense behind him with 16 points, going a perfect 6-of-6 on 2-point attempts, and handed out 9 assists.

Jaime Pradilla added 12 off the bench, and Real Madrid shot the ball about as well as a team can from distance, going 19-of-45 from 3-points — the highest 3-point total among the four games played Thursday. The hosts also won the boards 42-24.

ASVEL got 17 points from TyTy Washington off the bench and 16 from Hugo Besson, but it wasn't enough. The French club fell to 2-4.

Milano hits rock bottom as Dubai survives a late scare

Dubai Basketball led 29-23 after one quarter and 83-68 through three before holding off Olimpia Milano 101-97 at Unipol Forum. Milano's 29-point fourth quarter — its best of the night — cut the margin to 4, but the hosts had left themselves too much to do.

Dwayne Bacon was the story. The Dubai wing exploded for 29 points on 10-of-15 shooting, including a perfect 6-of-6 from beyond the arc, for a PIR of 27. Mfiondu Kabengele backed him up with 18 points on 6-of-6 inside the arc, and Jaron Blossomgame chipped in 14 points off the bench.

Milano got 21 points and 13-of-14 free-throw shooting from Garrison Mathews, plus 16 points from Moses Wright on 6-of-6 shooting, but the loss drops the Italian club to 1-5 — the worst record in the EuroLeague. Dubai, meanwhile, improved to 4-2.

Maccabi steals one in Valencia

Valencia Basket lost 91-88 to Maccabi Tel Aviv at Roig Arena in a game decided by the 3-point line. Maccabi opened with a 31-23 first quarter, Valencia clawed back to take the lead into the fourth on a 24-21 third quarter, but Maccabi closed it out 20-16 down the stretch to escape with the win.

Oshae Brissett led the way for Maccabi with 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks for a PIR of 21. Jimmy Clark III came off the bench for 17 points on 7-of-11 shooting, and Roman Sorkin added 16 off the bench as well. Maccabi shot 14-of-24 from 3-points — 58.3% — against Valencia's 11-of-38, a 9-point edge from deep that proved decisive in a 3-point game.

Gonzalo Corbalan paced Valencia with 14 points off the bench, and Armoni Brooks matched him with 14 of his own. But the result is Valencia's second straight loss after a 4-0 start, dropping the Spanish club to 4-2. Maccabi improved to 2-4.

Fenerbahce handles Partizan as the standings tighten

Fenerbahce beat Partizan 74-65 at Ulker Sports and Event Hall behind a huge 34-16 third quarter that broke the game open after a slow start. Shavon Shields posted 17 points and 8 rebounds for a PIR of 25, and Marcus Bingham grabbed 9 rebounds with 5 blocks as Fenerbahce swatted 14 shots as a team. The win pushes Fenerbahce to 5-1, second place behind unbeaten Panathinaikos, while Partizan falls to 3-3 after dropping its third straight.

Panathinaikos remains the league's only unbeaten team at 5-0 heading into the rest of Round 6 on October 16, when Zalgiris Kaunas hosts Anadolu Efes Istanbul, Besiktas Istanbul faces Bayern Munich, Crvena Zvezda Belgrade takes on Paris Basketball, Panathinaikos hosts Hapoel Tel Aviv, Virtus Bologna meets Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, and FC Barcelona welcomes Olympiacos Piraeus.
