Regular Season Round 19: Mersin - Gaziantep 86-98
Date: February 23, 2013
Everything could happen in Akdeniz at the game between two tied teams. Both eleventh ranked Gaziantep and 12th ranked Mersin had identical 5-13 record. But Mersin was not able to use a home court advantage and was defeated by the opponent from Gaziantep 98-86 on Saturday night. The game was mostly controlled by Gaziantep. Mersin was better in second period 22-16. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Gaziantep shot the lights out from three sinking 16 long-distance shots on high 53.3 percentage. It was a great evening for American power forward Joey Dorsey (206-83, college: Memphis, agency: FCM) who led his team to a victory scoring 26 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals. The former international power forward Mutlu Akpinar (203-83) helped adding 24 points and 4 assists. At the losing side naturalized American forward Ali Karadeniz (203-80, college: Arizona) responded with 26 points and 5 rebounds (on 13-of-17 shooting from the field) and American guard Willie Solomon (187-78, college: Clemson) scored 19 points. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Newly promoted Gaziantep maintains eleventh place with 6-13 record. Mersin lost their fifth game in a row. They keep the twelfth position with 14 games lost. Gaziantep will face higher ranked Besiktas (#6) in Istanbul in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Mersin will play at home against the league's second-placed Banvit BK (#2) having rather not much hope for a victory.
