Regular Season Round 29: Torku Konyaspor - Turk Telekom 97-100
Date: May 3, 2015
Rather expected game when 11th ranked Torku Konyaspor (12-17) was edged at home by ninth ranked Turk Telekom (15-14) 100-97 on Sunday. The guests trailed by 2 points after three quarters before their 33-28 charge, which allowed them to win the game. Turk Telekom shot 63.8 percent from the field and made 16-of-21 free shots (76.2 percent) during the game. Strangely Torku Konyaspor outrebounded Turk Telekom 32-18. The game was dominated by American players. The best player for the winners was power forward Ben McCauley (206-86, college: N.Carolina St.) who scored 22 points and 6 rebounds. Forward Josh Carter (200-88, college: Texas A&M) chipped in 24 points (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line). Turk Telekom's coach Ercument Sunter used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. Forward Hakim Warrick (204-82, college: Syracuse) produced 28 points and 9 rebounds and power forward R.T. Guinn (208-81, college: Baylor) added 16 points respectively for the hosts. Four Turk Telekom and five Torku Konyaspor players scored in double figures. Turk Telekom moved-up to fifth place, which they share with 4 other teams. Torku Konyaspor lost fifth consecutive game. They keep the eleventh position with 17 games lost. Turk Telekom will face league's second-placed Anadolu Efes in Istanbul in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Torku Konyaspor will play on the road against Royal Hali (#10) in Gaziantep and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
