Derek Willis scored a season-high 22 points on 4-5 threes as Anadolu Efes beat Merkezefendi Belediye 79 – 64 on the road to improve to 7 – 1 in the Turkish BSL League.

Erten Gazi added 15 points and Will Clyburn had 11 points plus seven rebounds for Efes that was without Shane Larkin, Tibor Pleiss and Elijah Bryant. Erdem Can’s players trailed 35 – 40 at halftime but stormed out of the locker room to go up 59 – 51 in the third period and retained an advantage for the rest of the game.
