Barcelona bash feeble Fenerbahce in Euroleague

Fenerbahce flirted with their worst-ever defeat Euroleague before finally settling for a 97-55 hammering at Barcelona on Thursday.The Turks scored a couple of quality early baskets - but an inability to defend the perimeter quickly cost them dear as Barcelona drained three-after-three. 5-from-8 from outside of the D, the host led 28-17 at the end of the first.

This was no early storm and at 51-29, the game was over by the halfway mark. 'Trash time' started very early.Kyle Kuric hit a game-high 25 for Barcelona - Rolands Smits added 20, Nikola Mirotic 16. None played for more than 20 minutes.If there was only bright spot for Fenerbahce - well they didn't exceed that 101-58 thumping by Montepaschi Siena in the 2009/10 season.
