A big battle in the playoff race will see Besiktas (6-3) host Joventut (4-5) after contrasting emotions for the two teams last week.
Game Notes and Facts: Besiktas vs. Joventut
2023-24
3 Mins read
Joventut ended a three-game losing streak by overcoming Prometey on the back of perfect 4-of-4 three-point shooting from Pau Ribas, while Besiktas fell to Hapoel despite 16 points and 9 assists from Derek Needham and has now lost two of its last three. The Turkish team restricts its opponents to a league-low 15 assists per game and will look for that kind of stingy defense to repeat its opening day 62-63 in Badalona.
GAME NOTES
- This is the fourth time that these two teams meet in the EuroCup.
- Earlier this season, Besiktas managed to take the road win, 62-63.
