Beşiktaş Cola Turka Men’s Basketball team routed visiting Darüşşafaka, 73-58 at BJK Akatlar Cola Turka Arena in the 6th week of Beko Basketball League.

Both teams got off to a fast start and traded baskets on both ends but an aggressive defense eventually allowed Black and Whites to build an early lead and forced their opponents to play catch-up. Niçeviç’s impressive performance under both hoops and Erkan’s timely baskets helped Beşiktaş tear Darüşşafaka defense apart completely. Despite their feeble attempts to claw back into the game, the out-classed visitors trailed 20-12 at the end of the first quarter.
Having established a comfortable  second quarter lead, Beşiktaş’s coach brought on his bench players to give them some court time while Kaya Peker, Onur and Eren kept pouring it on as the gap between the two teams  continued to grow  in favor of the hosts. Thanks to a productive second quarter, which saw 8 different Black and White players score, Beşiktaş went to its locker room leading 40-26 at the half- time break.
Spurred by Kaya Peker’s under the hoop points, Beşiktaş Cola Turka virtually dominated the third quarter. Consecutive unanswered 3-pointers drained from long range enabled Black and Whites to extend their lead even further. Unable to get into the painted area, the helpless Darüşşafaka had no other choice but to resort to outside shots. However these forced shots hit nothing but the iron. Backed by a solid defense, Beşiktaş Cola Turka held a 62-43 advantage going into the fourth quarter.
The final quarter of the game was not much different than the rest as Black and Whites continued to play exhibition basketball which produced a convincing 73-58 victory for Beşiktaş Cola Turka in the end.
