The Greek guard finished the game with 12 points (4/6 2PT, 1/4 3PT, 1/2 FT), 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 11 PIR.
"It's a great win," Calathes told BasketNews. "Obviously, when it comes down to the end, we beat a team like Madrid on the road. We got this win and then, hopefully, onto the next one."
The game was also interrupted due to a scuffle between Calathes and Real Madrid point guard Facundo Campazzo.
The scuffle broke out at the end of the third quarter when the two players collided, and Calathes fell to the ground. Campazzo showed Calathes that he was flopping, to which the Fenerbahce guard responded by confronting the Argentinian.
Campazzo and Calathes's scuffle was broken up by their teammates, and both players were assessed with technical fouls.
