Besiktas ensured a spot in the BKT EuroCup final after defeating Bahcesehir for the second time, this time as visitors, with a score of 82-72.
Brynton Lemar led Besiktas to the final with 18 points, Devon Dotson added 16, while Jonah Mathews and Ante Zizic contributed with 12 each.
On the other side, Malachi Flynn was the top scorer with 16 points, Trevion Williams recorded a double-double with 12 points and the same number of rebounds, and Caleb Homesley reached double figures with ten points.
In the clash of two Serbian coaches, Dusan Alimpijevic, the Serbian national team coach, once again emerged victorious, defeating his colleague Marko Barac in two matches and bringing Besiktas one step closer to winning the EuroCup.
Most of the game was an even battle, with the visitors taking only a one-point lead at halftime (37-36), but the third period proved crucial. Besiktas won that quarter 26-20 and maintained the lead until the end, defeating the same opponent for the second time in four days.
In the grand final, Besiktas will face the winner of the semifinal between Turk Telekom and JL Bourg, with the Turkish team currently holding the advantage after the first match.
