After digging its way out of a 12-point hole, Bahcesehir Koleji repelled a late comeback bid to prevail, 78-75, over Anadolu Efes in Istanbul’s Turkcell Basketball Development Center on Sunday.
Pushing his side to 7-1 in the 2025-26 Turkiye Sigorta Basketbol Super Ligi Regular Season, Malachi Flynn dropped 23 points, including a clutch three-pointer to restore a two-possession advantage in crunch time. The 27-year-old guard tucked in 5/6 two-pointers, 3/8 three-pointers, and 4/5 free throws, and also tallied six assists, two rebounds, and one steal over 36:11. Caleb Homesley, Tyler Cavanaugh, and Trevion Williams contributed 14 points apiece for the BKT EuroCup outfit.
On the wrong end of the Round 8 affair, with the EuroLeague participant falling to 6-2 behind a second straight domestic loss despite briefly enjoying a 12-point lead in the first half, 27-year-old forward/center Ercan Osmani posted a 22-point, 12-rebound double-double. Jordan Loyd recorded a game-high 25 points, playing through neck spasms. Shane Larkin, Rodrigue Beaubois, PJ Dozier Jr., Vincent Poirier, and Giorgos Papagiannis were ruled out due to injuries.
