Thanks to an amazing show by Vladimir Micov who scored 23 points on 8/8 shots – 5/5 threes – and Stephan Lasme who had 21, Galatasaray got the road win over Anadolu Efes (85-78) and changed the balance on the top of the Turkish SBL.
Anadolu Efes is still first with a 13-4 record, however Fenerbahce (12-4) can reach also 13 wins tomorrow in the game against Dogus Darussafaka which will complete the 17th round of the league. Galatasaray is third with a 12-5 record and can also hope to get even higher in the final regular season standings.
After a close first half in which Galatasaray had a two points lead (38-36), the guests led even by 16 points in the third period (62-46). Despite the come back of Anadolu Efes in the last minutes, the hosts couldn’t get closer than six points (83-77) with 40 seconds left. A dunk by Lasme after an assist by Blake Schilb (85-77) shield the deal for Galatasaray which had just 7 players available for the game, as key members of the roster like Caleb Green and Erick McCollum are injured.
