Regular Season Round 19: Galatasaray - Merkezefendi 96-98

Date: March 2, 2025
Bottom-ranked Merkezefendi managed to get a fourth victory. This time they edged fifth-ranked Galatasaray in Istanbul 98-96. Merkezefendi made 17-of-22 charity shots (77.3 percent) during the game. It was a great evening for Belgian forward Vrenz Bleijenbergh (208-2000) who led his team to a victory scoring 20 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks. American Tyler Cook (206-1997, college: Iowa) helped adding 17 points and 8 rebounds. Merkezefendi's coach Zafer Aktas allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game. At the losing side American James Palmer Jr (198-1996, college: Nebraska) responded with 28 points and the other American import point guard Will Cummings (188-1992, college: Temple) scored 19 points and 4 assists. Five Merkezefendi and four Galatasaray players scored in double figures. Merkezefendi (4-15) moved-up to fifteenth place, which they share with Yalovaspor. Galatasaray at the other side keeps the fifth position with eight games lost. They share it with Mersin BBGSK. Merkezefendi will play against higher ranked Buyukcekmece (#9) in Istanbul in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Galatasaray will play at home against Pinar Karsiyaka (#12) and hopes to get back on the winning track.
