Regular Season Round 16: Bursaspor - Merkezefendi 103-107

Date: January 16, 2026
We could consider it a predictable result in the game between close teams when eleventh ranked Merkezefendi (6-10) beat on the road 10th ranked Bursaspor (6-10) 107-103 on Friday. Merkezefendi had a 32-21 advantage in offensive rebounds. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 31 assists. The winners were led by German center Mahir Agva (206-1996) who scored that evening 21 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists and Belgian forward Vrenz Bleijenbergh (208-2000) supported him with 23 points and 4 assists. Merkezefendi's coach Zafer Aktas used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. Even a double-double of 23 points and 16 assists by American guard Brandon Childress (183-1997, college: Wake Forest) did not help to save the game for Bursaspor. His fellow American import Malik Parsons (190-1999, college: NWOSU) added 23 points and 5 rebounds for lost side. Five Merkezefendi and four Bursaspor players scored in double figures. Merkezefendi moved-up to tenth place, which they share with defeated Bursaspor. Merkezefendi will meet at home Karsiyaka (#15) in the next round where they are favorite. Bursaspor will play against Anadolu Efes (#7) in Istanbul and hope to secure a win.
