On Sunday a good week for Turks in the NBA was completed as Furkan Aldemir registered his first ever double double in the NBA with 11 points and 10 rebounds on the close defeat (87-86) of the Sixers by the Cavs.

On Thursday Ersan Ilyasova was the one who smiled. He got a career high of 34 points on 12/14 shots in the Bucks‘ win over Indiana (111-107), a crucial game in Milwaukee’s run towards the play offs.

Enes Kanter also had a double double (18 p. 11 r.) in his return to Utah, however he was also booed by Jazz fans as the hosts beat Oklahoma City (94-89). Kanter raised some eyebrows before the game by saying that he never liked playing for Utah, despite staying with the team for 3,5 seasons.
