Regular Season Round 4: Besiktas - Trabzonspor 68-58
Date: November 1, 2014
Not a big story in a game in Istanbul where bottom-ranked Trabzonspor (0-4) was defeated by third ranked Besiktas (3-1) 68-58 on Saturday. The game was mostly controlled by Besiktas. Trabzonspor was better in third quarter 20-15. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. They made 16-of-21 free shots (76.2 percent) during the game. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Besiktas made 8 blocks. Trabzonspor was plagued by 25 personal fouls down the stretch. Worth to mention a great performance of American power forward JaJuan Johnson (208-89, college: Purdue) who helped to win the game recording 24 points, 7 rebounds and 5 blocks and the other American import center Hilton Armstrong (210-84, college: Connecticut) who added 16 points and 8 rebounds (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field) during the contest. At the losing side Nigerian-American power forward Gani Lawal (205-88, college: Georgia Tech, agency: Three Eye Sports) responded with 18 points and 6 rebounds and Serbian forward Novica Velickovic (205-86, agency: Beo Basket) scored 5 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Both coaches tested many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Besiktas have a solid three-game winning streak. They keep a position of league leader, which they share with 6 other teams. Loser Trabzonspor still closes the standings with four games lost. Besiktas will face Tofas (#11) in Bursa in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Trabzonspor will play at home against Turk Telekom (#13) and hopes to get finally their first victory.
