The final score was 91-63 as the hosts dominated the game with Tony Crocket leading the way with 16 points, Sammy Mejia adding 12 and Pierria Henry finishing the night with eight points, eight rebounds and nine assists.
Tofas managed to build an 11-point lead (27-16) just before the end of the first quarter and kept an eight point advantage at half-time (50-42). Yigit Arslan with 11 points in 10 minutes of action was the hero of the hosts, while Crocker was their top scorer with 13.
The game was decided in the first six minutes of the second half with a partial 19-2 score in favor of the hosts. Tofas lead by 25 (69-44) and Anadolu Efes couldn’t react. Both teams played for most of the last quarter with their young Turkish players, still Tofas pushed the lead to 31 points (91-60).
Krunoslav Simon scored 13 points for Efes, all in the first half, but neither he or any of his teammates couldn’t react in the second. The presence of Portland’s CJ McCollum who traveled to Bursa in order to see his brother Errick McCollum, who is playing for Anadolu Efes, didn’t bring any luck to the guests.
