Karsiyaka took a 60 – 62 advantage with 4 minutes left but the guests reacted soon enough to avoid the upset.
Fenerbahce improved to a 17-3 record to tie Tofas at the top of standings.
Also, Sonny Weems continues “on fire” in the Turkish league. After an impressive debut with Efes, the forward contributed to the 98 – 91 victory over Trabzonspor with 26 points and 6 assists.
