His fellow American import guard Errick McCollum (188-1988, college: Goshen) chipped in 20 points and 4 assists.

Five Galatasaray and four Buyukcekmece players scored in double figures. Both coaches allowed to play bench players in such tough game. Galatasaray maintains eighth place with 13-10 record. Loser Buyukcekmece stay dead last with 20 lost games. Galatasaray's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Istanbul to the arena Erokspor.
