Regular Season Round 17: Pinar Karsiyaka - Merkezefendi 71-95

Date: February 2, 2025
Bottom-ranked Merkezefendi managed to get a third victory, breaking the series of seven consecutive losses. This time they outleveled eighth-ranked Pinar Karsiyaka in Izmir 95-71. It's especially surprising that the victory came too easily and 24-point difference suggests that Merkezefendi is in a good shape to leave the bottom place. The former international Egehan Arna (202-1997) nailed 21 points and 6 rebounds for the winning side and American swingman Ben McLemore (196-1993, college: Kansas) accounted for 26 points and 5 steals. Four Merkezefendi players scored in double figures. Merkezefendi's coach Zafer Aktas felt very confident that he used 10 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. International center Muhsin Yasar (210-1995) came up with a double-double by scoring 25 points and 10 rebounds (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line) and Belgian Thomas Akyazili (190-1997, college: Colorado, agency: Octagon Europe) added 18 points and 9 assists respectively for Pinar Karsiyaka in the defeat. Merkezefendi maintains sixteenth place with 3-14 record. Pinar Karsiyaka lost sixth consecutive game. They keep the eighth position with nine games lost. Merkezefendi will play against higher ranked Besiktas (#4) in Istanbul in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Pinar Karsiyaka will play on the road against Mersin BBGSK (#7) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
