Fenerbahce Tarfin narrowly escaped with an 85–84 victory versus Biotekno Korfez, after almost dropping a double-digit lead for a second time at the Ulker Sports Arena on Sunday. They improved to 1–1 in the 2026–27 edition of the Turkiye Sigorta Basketbol Super Ligi Regular Season.
They held on because of Talen Horton-Tucker and Johnny Juzang. The duo stepped up with Wade Baldwin IV, Marcus Bingham Jr., Braxton Key, and Shavon Shields all resting out of the lineup. The 25-year-old combo guard, a former NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020, led the way with 22 points, and 25-year-old Juzang added 21. Both players hit season-high marks to rescue the hosts from what could have been an embarrassing 0–2 domestic start.
In later BSL action, Anadolu Efes picked up a hard-fought 85–79 win over Pizzabulls Bordo Bandirma. Jordan Loyd put up 15 points, followed by Matthew Strazel and Collin Malcolm with 14 and 13 points, respectively, to counter a game-high 25 points by Q.J. Peterson for the home side. Head coach Pablo Laso’s squad displayed impressive depth to claim the road win despite playing without Isaia Cordinier, PJ Dozier Jr., Mike James, Giorgos Papagiannis, and Santi Yusta.
A day earlier, Errick McCollum took care of business for Esenler Erokspor. The veteran guard poured in 26 points on Saturday, carrying his team past Aliaga Petkim Spor in a comfortable 96–87 victory.
Besiktas defeated Trabzonspor 90–81 at home in the closing game of Round 2 of the Turkish BSL. The result gave Besiktas its first league win of the season and handed Trabzonspor its first defeat.
Jaylen Nowell led the hosts with 16 points, while Eugene Omoruyi contributed 14 points and seven rebounds. Anthony Brown added 12 points, with Metecan Birsen and Berk Ugurlu scoring 11 each.
Troy Caupain and Isaiah Canaan paced Trabzonspor with 14 points apiece, while Marcus Keene added 11. Besiktas visits Turk Telekom next week, while Trabzonspor hosts Bandirma Bordo.
