Regular Season Round 23: Besiktas - Anadolu Efes 92-95
Date: April 1, 2019
Sixth-ranked Besiktas (11-11) made lots of trouble for first ranked Anadolu Efes (19-3) in Istanbul on Monday. The visitors managed to secure only three-point victory 95-92. However their fans expected much easier game. Anadolu Efes made 24-of-31 free shots (77.4 percent) during the game. They shot the lights out from three sinking 13 long-distance shots on high 54.2 percentage. 25 personal fouls committed by Besiktas helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. The best player for the winners was American point guard Shane Larkin (180-92, college: Miami, FL) who scored 28 points (was perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line). Australian forward Brock Motum (208-90, college: WSU) chipped in 14 points and 7 rebounds. American-Israeli power forward Joe Alexander (203-86, college: W.Virginia, agency: Alti Sport) produced 17 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists and Croatian power forward Ivan Buva (208-91) added 15 points and 5 rebounds respectively for the hosts. Four Anadolu Efes and five Besiktas players scored in double figures. Besiktas' coach Dusko Ivanovic rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Anadolu Efes have an impressive series of eleven victories in a row. They maintain first place with 19-3 record. Besiktas lost third consecutive game. They dropped to the seventh position with 11 games lost. They share it with Bahcesehir. Anadolu Efes' supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Istanbul Acibadem.
