Beşiktaş stun Galatasaray 82-78 behind 25 from newcomer Kenan Bajramovic

With 9 losses already, it’s been an up-and-down regular season for the Eagles, but they’ve showed their true colors against a mighty opponent tonight. Starting the game with a lineup of Ryan Broekhoff, Mehmet Yağmur, Tomislav Ruziç, Chris Lofton and Colton Iverson, Beşiktaş Integral Forex matched their cross-town rivals basket for basket throughout the first three quarters and were holding on to a slim 53-52 lead going into the fourth. Despite a late push by the visitors Galatasaray, the Black Eagles rode the hot-hand of new signing Bajramovic in the closing minutes to squeeze out a prestigious victory at the Arena. Doron Perkins was another high scorer for Beşiktaş with 19 points.
