Starting the opening game of their Super League campaign with a line-up of Derek Needham, Matt Mitchell, Yiğit Arslan, Berkan Durmaz, Angel Delgado, poor-shooting Black Eagles trailed their hosts 36-32 at the break and failed to erase the deficit in the second half. Jonah Mathews came off the bench to knock down a team-high 16 points for Beşiktaş.
