The Turkish team made it four wins in a row by downing Lietkabelis last week with a prominent role for newly signed big man Jarrod Jones, who faces a key matchup with Bourg center Bodian Massa this week. Bourg won easily, 86-67, when the teams met in November, but Turk Telekom has improved significantly since then and this should be a thrilling encounter as the French team looks for a 10th win in 11 games.
Fred Fauthoux, Bourg head coach
"Turk Telekom regained some good momentum, we will have to play a very high-level match to win."
Jeremy Morgan, Bourg player
"It is another very big game for us. We are playing another very talented team on the road and they are playing very well at the moment. We need to come out with the right intensity and mentally be prepared for a tough fight."
