Physically Disabled Finished Third

Our Wheelchair Basketball Team concluded the regular season in 3rd place with a 3-0 series win over Izmir Büyükşehir Belediyesi at Ahmet Cömert Sports Hall.  

Since the Black and White won both league games, they started the game with a 1-0 series advantage. Despite trailing 19-15 at the end of the first quarter, Beşiktaş bounced back in the second to take a 35-30 edge by the halftime. The third quarter was no different than the second, as the Black and White extended their lead to 54-40 entering the fourth. Izmir Büyükşehir Belediyesi mounted an effective comeback in the final quarter to crawl back into the game, but a number of clutch shots down the stretch helped Beşiktaş escape with a 61-59 close victory.     
The Game 2 of the series again took place at Ahmet Cömert Sports Hall. After erasing an 8-6 first quarter deficit, the Black and White built a 20- 10 cushion at the half.  They managed to outscore their opponent (37-19) in the third period by scoring 17 points en route to a 46-29 victory.
This win gave Black and White a 3-0 series lead and enabled them to finish the season in the third spot.
