It was the 11th win for the incredibly recent Anadolu Efes in the last twelve games.
Lithuanian Vitoria “Baskonia”, which is showing fantastic play in the second half of the season, suffered only the second loss in the last eleven battles on Thursday night.
On the last day of the regular season, the Vitoria basketball players will face a desperate match for a place in the quarterfinals with Valencia.
Achille Polonara’s triple, 2 minutes before the end of the game, put the locals ahead 83:82, and in the next attack the basket was shaken by the Baskonia player Pierria Henry.
Shane Larkin tied the score with a long shot, Alec Peters responded with a two-point response, but Anadolu Efes winds scored another three points.
Polonara blocked Adrien Moerman’s shot with 20 seconds to go, the situation was very slippery, so a team of referees watched the episode for a long time, finally deciding to count the points.
In the last attack, Anadolu Efes did not commit any infraction, allowing Baskonia defender Luca Vildoza to score a triple and start extra time.
During the overtime, Shane Larkin, who pitched one after another, settled matters. The Anadolu Efes winner scored 2 points after two halves and finished the match with 30 points.
Rokas Giedraitis finished the match with 21 points on his account (7/7 double, 1/5 trit., 4/4 penalty), all of them after a long break. Tauragiškis bounced 4 balls, made 3 assists and recorded 22 utility points.
Tadas Sedekerskis suffered a fourth personal foul late in the third quarter, but still remained on the field, performing important tasks on defense.
The 23-year-old Lithuanian scored 2 points (1/4 dvit., 0/1 trit.) In 20 minutes, he bounced 2 balls, made a successful pass, made two mistakes, committed five times and scored -6 utility points.
Italian Achille Polonara played another impressive match. Having scored 36 utility points in the last round in Greece, this time he scored 26 efficiency points against the Istanbul team.
