Turk Telekom seems to have found its offensive rhythm as the Turkish side put together a second straight scoring bonanza to secure a second consecutive victory.
Turk Telekom offense shined again in blowout of Buducnost



Turk Telekom Ankara scored 57 points in the second half in a 73-96 victory at Buducnost VOLI Podgorica, the first road win of the season for last year’s runner-up, which had lost its first five away games in Group B. The back-to-back wins give Turk Telekom a 3-8 record in the group.
"Two wins in a row for us. We are just trying to sharpen our tools on defense and offense and then let everything take care of itself afterwards,” said Steven Enoch, who collected a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds in the win.
The road victory followed Turk Telekom’s 95-84 win last week over U-BT Cluj-Napoca, which snapped a seven-game losing skid. Despite having scored 95 points versus Cluj, Turk Telekom was still only averaging 77.8 points per game coming into the Buducnost game - the third-lowest average in the league.
Turk Telekom shot 55.9% on two-pointers and 46.4% on three-pointers - way over its percentages of 48.0% and 31.1%, respectively coming into the game which also ranked 20th and 17th respectively. Turk Telekom’s two-point shooting was all the more impressive considering Buducnost was the third stingiest defense in that statistic with just 51.4%.
Turk Telekom’s defense also stepped up, allowing 11.2 points fewer than the 84.2 scoring average it had coming into the game. The Turkish side also allowed only 9 assists, which were 10.6 fewer than its 19.6 assists per game average thus far.
Turk Telekom still has a long way to go to actually reach the playoffs. But the team won its first road game; seems to have found its offense; its defense stood strong against a playoffs challenger; and its -29 +/- rating is better than any of the four teams one win ahead of them in the standings at 4-7.
