Coming off an impressive 10-1 stretch in eleven games since late December, Fenerbahce Beko suffered an overtime loss, 102-97, to Gaziantep Sunday. Marko Guduric exited the BSL Regular Season Round 19 affair just before halftime due to injury.
The visitors dropped a 16-point lead but set the pace in the extra period off a 6-0 run. Trevis Simpson ended up with a game-high 22 points. Kenny Hayes fired in 20 points and Rashard Kelly 17 points. Mouhammadou Jaiteh threw in 15 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, and one block.
Bobby Dixon aka Ali Muhammed scored 22 points for Fener. Captain Melih Mahmutoglu added 16 and Dyshawn Pierre 13.
Anadolu Efes extended its perfect domestic run to 19 wins after beating Bahcesehir Koleji 100-79 on the road, led by Sertac Sanli with 17 and Adrien Moerman with 16 points.
A total of seven players scored in double-digits for the winning side. Bugrahan Tuncer also dished 11 assists next to his ten points.
Despite the win, potentially very bad news may come for Efes as Shane Larkin suffered a hamstring injury early in the game and had to leave the court.
