Turkish League Round 4 October 17th-18th

by

Saturday’s games included a wild affair as Besiktas had their duo of Crystal Bradford and Angela Salvadores firing, but Cankaya University leaned on their starters, playing the bench for a total of 2 minutes and 44 second, getting enough from Shavonte Zellous, Tan White, and Gizem Yavuz to win 98-94.  Elazig made roster changes and Emma Cannon had a good first game for them, but Anete Steinberga and Galatasaray won 75-57.  Briana Day led Adana past Kayseri 83-70.  Ruthy Hebard was dominant again as Nesibe beat Orman 75-58 and Kumsal Aslan made her professional debut.  The virus affected games for the first time this weekend as Hatay had to postpone at least their next three games, but the two other games scheduled for Sunday were played.  Botas beat Izmit 72-57.  Alina Iagupova tried to shoot Cukurova past her previous team, but Fenerbahce won 79-55.
