Eagles overcome Turk Telekom with 85-59 victory

Shooting extremely poorly, the visiting Beşiktaş trailed by ten points, 37-27, with 2:50 to go in the second quarter, but used a late rally to trim that deficit down to five, 43-38, before the break.
 
The re-energized Eagles started the second half with all guns blazing and carried a 60-54 lead into the final quarter. Their tenacious defense, which held the home team without a bucket for the first four minutes, was the key factor in the final stanza. They then busted the game wide open with a barrage of three-pointers, on their way to a comfortable road win. Christopher scored a team-high 18 points for Beşiktaş
