This is the second win in a row for Efes over Tofas after the Turkish Cup Final.
Bryant Dunston posted a double-double of 11 points/10 rebounds for the winning side. Sammy Mejia finished with 19 points and Josh Owens had 16 for Tofas that remain second in the standings despite the loss.
Fenerbahce remains the undisputed standings leader after beating Eskisehir and capturing their 50th (!) straight win at home in BSL.
