Fourth-quarter surge lifts Eagles past Karşıyaka 69-68

Eurocup quarter-finalist Beşiktaş Integral Forex started their home game at the Integral Arena with a line up of Kenan Bajramovic, Colton Iverson, Doron Perkins, Muratcan Güler and Caner Topaloğlu. After a couple of poor-shooting quarters, they faced a 40-27 deficit at the break but managed to cut it down to 52-45 going into  the final stanza. Hitting a good majority of their outside shots, the Black Eagles continued to close the gap in the fourth-quarter before Chris Lofton knocked down 3-pointer from downtown and tied the score at 68-68 with 24 seconds left. Then, a last-second free-throw by Muratcan Güler sent the visitors back to Izmir City empty-handed.
