Regular Season Round 22: Anadolu Efes - Mersin 79-84

Date: March 19, 2011
Worth to mention about the upset in a game between Efes Pilsen (15-7) and Mersin (5-17), which took place in Istanbul. Higher ranked Efes Pilsen lost at home to fifteenth ranked Mersin 79-84. The guests were tied after three quarters but managed to speed up in last quarter eventually winning the game. Mersin dominated down low during the game scoring 66 of its points in the paint compared to Efes Pilsen's 38. American swingman Vincent Grier (195-83, college: Minnesota, agency: SportsTalent) scored 19 points and 9 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and forward Nedim Yucel (203-79) chipped in 18 points and 5 rebounds during the contest. Four Mersin players scored in double figures. At the losing side Slovenian swingman Bostjan Nachbar (207-80) responded with 20 points and 7 rebounds and American guard Marvis Thornton (194-77, college: St.John's) scored 12 points. Efes Pilsen's coach Velimir Perasovic tried various players' combinations and tested in total eleven players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Mersin maintains fifteenth position with 5-17 record. Efes Pilsen at the other side keeps the fourth place with seven games lost. They share the position with Karsiyaka and Besiktas. Mersin will play against higher ranked Trabzonspor (#11) at home in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Efes Pilsen will play against Turk Telekom (#10) in Ankara and hopes to get back on the winning track.
