Regular Season Round 28: Fenerbahce - Merkezefendi 63-79

Date: May 2, 2025
The most surprising game was a loss of top-ranked Fenerbahce (26-2) in Istanbul on Friday night. Hosts were defeated by thirteenth ranked Merkezefendi (11-17) 79-63. Merkezefendi outrebounded Fenerbahce 40-29 including 31 on the defensive glass. Merkezefendi looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of the former international Egehan Arna (202-1997) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 20 points and 10 rebounds. American point guard Stefan Moody (179-1993, college: Ole Miss) contributed with 14 points and 5 assists for the winners. The former international Melih Mahmutoglu (191-1990) replied with 15 points and Latvian guard Arturs Zagars (190-2000) added 9 points and 4 assists in the effort for Fenerbahce. Fenerbahce's coach Sarunas Jasikevicius rotated twelve players seeing no chance for a win. Merkezefendi have a solid four-game winning streak. They moved-up to tenth place, which they share with Bursaspor and Petkim. Defending champion Fenerbahce still keeps top position with two games lost. Merkezefendi is looking forward to face higher ranked Tofas (#5) in Bursa in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. Fenerbahce's supporters also look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Istanbul to the arena Besiktas.
