It was Bursaspor's third consecutive playoffs road victory, after knocking off Partizan NIS Belgrade in overtime of the eighthfinals and Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana by a point in the quarters. Bursaspor, which earned a chance to fight for the EuroCup crown in just its second season in the competition, is set to face either Valencia Basket or Virtus Segafredo Bologna, who play the other semifinal on Wednesday.
Andrew Andrews led the winners with 20 points. Onuralp Bitim added 18, Derek Needhan 13, David Dudzinski 12 and Kevarrius Hayes 11 for Bursaspor. Hayes added 16 rebounds for a double-double. Oriol Pauli led Andorra with 16 points while Drew Crawford and David Jelinek each added 11. Pauli and Crawford fueled a 15-0 run that gave Andorra an early 17-6 lead. However, Needham and Andrews led a 0-15 response that put Bursaspor in charge, 20-24, early in the second quarter. Andorra would regain the lead at 33-29, but Needham and Dudzinski pushed the guests to a 34-38 halftime edge. Bitim and Hayes boosted Bursaspor's margin to 40-57 before Jelinek and Codi Miller-McIntyre gave Andorra hope at 56-63, after 30 minutes. Hayes and Needham kept pacing Bursaspor in a 2-12 fourth-quarter run to a 58-75 margin and never looked back, making history in golden letters.
