Date: May 3, 2026
Very expected game in Istanbul where 16th ranked Buyukcekmece (4-25) was defeated by ninth ranked Merkezefendi (12-17) 98-87 on Sunday. Merkezefendi shot the lights out from three sinking 13 long-distance shots on high 56.5 percentage. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists. The best player for the winners was Croatian Roko Badzim (194-1997) who scored 21 points and 6 assists. Latvian point guard Kristers Zoriks (193-1998, college: SMC) chipped in 18 points and 5 assists. Serbian guard Vasilije Pusica (196-1995, college: Northeastern) produced 16 points and 5 rebounds and American guard PJ Pipes (188-1999, college: Santa Clara) added 14 points and 6 assists respectively for the hosts. Both teams had five players each who scored in double figures. Both coaches tested many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Merkezefendi maintains ninth place with 12-17 record. Buyukcekmece lost fourth consecutive game. They stay dead last with 25 lost games. Merkezefendi will meet at home higher ranked Erokspor (#8) in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Buyukcekmece's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Istanbul to the arena Anadolu Efes.
