Turk Telekom (5-5) will attempt to protect its place in the all-important top six by overcoming struggling Aris (2-8).
Game Notes and Facts: Turk Telekom vs. Aris



The Turkish team will look to build more momentum after last week’s crucial high-scoring win at Lietkabelis, powered by an MVP of the round performance from forward Braian Angola. Turk Telekom’s more usual blueprint for success is the defense-first victory it took over Aris earlier this season, winning in Greece 63-68 after restricting the dangerous Vassilis Toliopoulos to a season-low 8 points. Aris has the worst offensive production in the league, averaging just 74.5 points per game, so it needs its best performance of the season to snap a four-game losing streak and reignite its playoff hopes.
GAME NOTES
- Turk Telekom topped Aris 63-68 in Round 2 led by Anthony Brown’s 17 points and a Kyle Alexander double-double.
