Beşiktaş Women’s Basketball lost 79-68 to Galatasaray at Akatlar Cola Turka Arena in a TBBL Week 5 match.

The visitors took command from the opening tip and led 25-13 at the end of the first, thanks to string of unanswered points by Douglas. The red and yellow capitalized on a number of Beşitaş Cola turnovers in the second and drained 6 three-pointers out of 11 attempts to open up a 22-point, 52-30, lead at the half.

Beşiktaş Cola Turka Women’s Basketball tightened its defense in the third and kept Galatasaray scoreless for the first four minutes to claw within 52-39. Then Shavonte stepped up and sparked a late rally to shave the deficit to 7 at 61-54 entering the last minute of the quarter. However, a last-second three-pointer from Perkins brought the visitors’ lead back to 10 points, 64-54, heading into the final stanza. Although the Lady Eagles managed to reduce the gap to 6 points on a layup by Dubravka with 6:00 to go, the unstoppable Douglas continued to connect from outside to dash the remaining hopes of Beşiktaş and help Galatasaray to a 79-68 victory.
