In a game that saw six lead changes in the fourth quarter and was as close as 69-71 entering the last 4 minutes, Turk Telekom Ankara made the most of the little things to beat Slask Wroclaw. Despite a sub-par offensive performance - the visitors didn’t score a single field goal in the last 3 minutes, Turk Telekom managed to leave Centennial Hall with a victory that improved its record to 3-1.

"Today was a great fight on the court from both sides… We did not play quality basketball, to be honest, but we want to improve every single day," Turk Telekom Ankara head coach Erdem Can recognized in the press conference. "This is one part of when you play bad, you still try to win the game and you handle it to be able to win the game. So, from that standpoint, it was a good win for us, but lots of easy mistakes. We need to [take] a lot of lessons from this game."
Despite a below-average free-throw shooting night, Turk Telekom managed to hit from the line when it mattered most. Tyrique Jones and Axel Boutielle didn’t miss when they both drew a basket-plus-foul play in the fourth quarter. The last one by the French forward established a 67-69 edge for Turk and Slask would not reclaim the lead for the remainder of the game.

Makoundou posterizes Beringer! Magic Moment of the Night
Turk Telekom finished 9 of 13 from the line, which was much better than its opponent. Slask had a terrible free-throw shooting night as it missed 11 of its 17 attempts (35.3%), which clearly prevented it from getting its first win in the 7DAYS EuroCup this season.
Slask Wroclaw head coach Andrej Urlep regretted the mistakes his team made in this game: "It was a tough loss for us. I think we played much better than we did against Buducnost, but still, we are making some mistakes that have been following us all season long. I think that turnovers, bad work under the boards, they cost us the game."
Only a few could deny his words, as Turk Telekom outrebounded Slask 8-12 in the fourth quarter, grabbing 5 offensive boards that were crucial to keeping things under control when the game was on the edge. Securing the boards became a definitive weapon for the visitors, as nobody was able to score a single field goal in crunch time when it was 71-74.
Even though Jerian Grant had the opportunity to close the game from the line with 23 seconds to go, the visitors had to use an offensive rebound by Tyrique Jones to stay calm. It was Jones’s only offensive rebound of the night, but it was at the right place, in the right moment, for Turk Telekom. Another small detail that contributed in a key way.
