U19 League Round 3 (Regular Season): Erokspor hands first loss to Bandirma

U19 League is at the halfway of the Regular Season and there are still another 3 rounds left. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most surprising game was a loss of Teksut (2-1) in Istanbul on Monday night. Visitors were defeated by Erokspor (2-1) 96-82. Erokspor made 26-of-34 free shots (76.5 percent) during the game. Erokspor had a 33-17 advantage in offensive rebounds. 25 personal fouls committed by Bandirma helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a good game for forward Berk Ustundag (190-2008) who led his team to a victory with 29 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. Abdurrahim Sahiner (-2008) contributed with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners. Ali Atar answered with 28 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists for Bandirma. Teksut's coach rotated ten players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Erokspor is looking forward to face Cayirova (#10) in Kocaeli in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Teksut will play on the road against Denizli (#8) and is hoping to win this game.
Another exciting game for Aliaga Petkim (3-0) which played in Istanbul against Anadolu Efes (2-1). Aliaga Petkim saved the game by a tiny margin of two points 60-58. It was a great evening for point guard Mehmet Ozturk (189-2010) who led his team to a victory scoring 16 points. Yigit Kilavuz helped adding 10 points and 8 rebounds. The best for the losing side was forward Erdinc Koyun (205-2008, agency: BIG) with 10 points, 21 rebounds and 4 blocks. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Aliaga Petkim will play against Galatasaray (#15) in Istanbul in the next round which should be an easy win for them. Anadolu Efes will play on the road against Turk Telekom (#12) in Ankara and hopes to get back on the winning track.
The game in Bursa was also quite interesting. Besiktas (3-0) played at the court of Bursaspor (1-2). Besiktas did not have too big problems and got a relatively easy victory 73-56 on Monday. It was an exceptional evening for Doruk Hifzioglu who led the winners with a double-double by scoring 17 points and 11 rebounds.
