A 7-0 run in the last lap of the game helped Fenerbahce Beko beat Anadolu Fes 82 – 73 in Game 4 of the Turkish BSL League Finals to tie the best-of-seven series 2-2.
With the score 72 – 72 following a 3-pointer by Efes‘ Vasilije Micic, Fener captain Melih Mahmutoglu banked a 3-pointer and then another basket to give his team a five-point lead. Micic then missed an easy layup attempt only for Nicolo Melli to make it 79 – 72 on the other end with 1:23 remaining.

Melli finished with a game-high 19 points plus six rebounds. Kostas Sloukas added 16 points and six assists, along with four boards. Ahmet Duverioglu posted a double-double of 12 points plus 11 rebounds and Mahmutoglu 12 points.
