Date: January 31, 2015
Everything could happen at the game between two tied teams. Both fourteenth ranked Istanbul BSB and 13th ranked Usak had identical 6-10 record. This time Istanbul BSB used a home court advantage and won against the opponent from Usak 84-75 on Saturday night. The hosts took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But Usak won third quarter 22-13. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Istanbul BSB made 16-of-20 free shots (80.0 percent) during the game. They also forced 19 Usak turnovers. The best player for the winners was American-Bosnian guard Zack Wright (191-85, college: Central Mo.) who scored 17 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals. Slovenian Sasha Vujacic (201-84, agency: Interperformances) chipped in 20 points and 5 rebounds. Four Istanbul BSB players scored in double figures. American forward Eric Buckner (208-90, college: Georgia St., agency: David Lee services) produced 17 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks and the other American import guard Courtney Fells (196-86, college: N.Carolina St.) added 14 points and 5 rebounds respectively for the guests. Usak's coach Ozan Bulkaz tested eleven players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Istanbul BSB (7-10) moved-up to tenth place, which they share with TED Kolejliler and Torku Konyaspor. Usak lost third consecutive game. They keep the thirteenth position with 11 games lost. Istanbul BSB will face higher ranked Banvit BK (#7) in Balikesir in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Usak will play at home against TED Kolejliler (#12) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
