Anadolu Efes defeated Galatasaray 71 – 64 on the road and took a 2-1 lead in the Turkish BSL League semifinals. The back-to-back EuroLeague champions made up for their blowout home loss in Game 1 and now need one more win to move to the Finals.

The match was quite close from the beginning until the very last minutes. It was then when Vasilije Micic took it on him by draining the go-ahead 3-pointer for the 60 – 62 and then hitting the dagger that made it 62 – 67 with 21 seconds to play.

Micic finished with 13 points while Bryant Dunston led Efes with 20 points plus six rebounds. Elijah Bryant notched 16 points plus eight rebounds.

Dee Bost scored a team-high 14 points for Galatasaray. Kerry Blackshear (11 points, 13 rebounds), Melo Trimble (11 points, five assists) and Sadik Emir Kabaca (11 points) also scored in double figures for the home side that also hosts Game 4.
