Darussafaka Dogus defeated Banvit 72 – 67 at home, making the 1-0 in the quarterfinal series more easily than what the final score shows.
With Brad Wanamaker (22 points) and Dairis Bertans (18 points) taking care of things on offense, coach Blatt’s players were holding a steady double-digit lead for most of the fourth quarter and were up 72 – 58 with about two minutes remaining.
Banvit managed to come closer near the end, but never became actually dangerous. Furkan Korkmaz had a double-double of 18 points/10 rebounds and Jordan Theodore added 15 points, 8 assists plus 7 rebounds.
