In their home game at the Integral Arena, the Black Eagles were up 20-18 after the opening quarter, but Mersin battled back to draw level at 35-35 before the break. The tight game continued throughout the third quarter with the visitors surging ahead 56-53. However, Chris Lofton took the center stage once again with his deadly shots down the stretch to spark a late Beşiktaş rally and help keep the game out of reach. Lofton finished with 22 points while Brad Buckman poured in 12.
