Regular Season Round 14: Yesilgiresun - Meliksah 73-68
Date: December 27, 2014
Everything could happen in Giresun at the game between two tied teams. Both eleventh ranked Yesilgiresun and 10th ranked Meliksah had identical 6-7 record. This time Yesilgiresun used a home court advantage and won against the opponent from Kayseri 73-68 on Saturday night. Meliksah was tied after three quarters but could not keep up in the last quarter eventually losing the game. Yesilgiresun made 22-of-28 free shots (78.6 percent) during the game. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Yesilgiresun made 10 blocks. Meliksah was plagued by 28 personal fouls down the stretch. The former international forward Yunus Cankaya (199-85) had a double-double by scoring 19 points and 12 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and American guard Ramel Bradley (188-85, college: Kentucky) chipped in 18 points and 7 rebounds during the contest (was perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line). American point guard Leemire Goldwire (182-85, college: Charlotte, agency: Two Points) responded with 18 points and his fellow American import center LaRon Dendy (205-88, college: Middle Tenn.St., agency: David Lee services) produced a double-double by scoring 12 points and 11 rebounds. Four Meliksah players scored in double figures. Meliksah's coach Murat Askin gave the chance to play for ten players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Yesilgiresun (7-7) moved-up to eighth place, which they share with Adanaspor and Gediz. Newly promoted Meliksah dropped to the eleventh position with eight games lost. Yesilgiresun will face Pertevniyal (#15) in Istanbul in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Meliksah will play at home against Final Genclik (#12) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
