Game Report
3 Mins read
Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul improved its record in the BKT EuroCup Group A to 3-2 after a sublime fourth quarter from center Emanuel Terry helped the Turkish outfit to an 82-76 home win over Joventut Badalona in a thrilling contest.
Terry racked up the bulk of his 10 points and 6 boards in the home straight, shooting 5 of 5 from the floor and every one of those efforts were clutch shots, including a pair of spectacular slam dunks. Kyle Allman paced Besiktas with 16 points, Jonah Mathews posted 11 while Conor Morgan and Kelan Martin added 10 each alongside Terry.
At the other end, Ante Tomic led Joventut with 17 points and 7 boards, fellow big man Artem Pustovyi added 16 points and 5 boards and Devon Dotson netted 15 points. Kaiser Bray-Gates amassed 13 points and 5 rebounds for Joventut, which dropped to 2-3 after a second successive defeat.
Reeling from last week’s 63-86 home drubbing at the hands of Wolves Twinsbet Vilnius, Joventut made a purposeful start and raced into an early 2-9 lead before Besiktas regained its composure and edged ahead 21-20 at the end of the first quarter, with Kelan Martin hitting a tough off-balance buzzer beater.
Besiktas relied on long-range artillery from Yigit Arslan in the second quarter to stay in the driver’s seat, while Tomic and Pustovyi wreaked havoc in the paint at the other end to keep Joventut going. The visitors had outrebounded Besiktas 20-13 in the first half but it was the home side that engineered a slender lead at the interval, 42-41.

Besiktas Emlakjet Istanbul-Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse | Semifinals Game 2 Highlights | 2023-24 BKT EuroCup
The third quarter produced a physical battle as both sides stepped up on defense and Besiktas headed into the final 10 minutes with a 58-54 advantage, before some big plays from Tomic and Pustovyi helped Joventut draw level early in the fourth, 62-62.
Galvanized by fervent support from the home fans, Besiktas then pulled away for good as Terry stepped up to the plate at crunch time. Allman followed in his footsteps as the hosts went on a crucial 9-2 run in the last few minutes to open up an unassailable 82-73 lead, much to the delight of their vociferous supporters.
