The game between second ranked Sigortam.net (8-4) and eighth ranked TED Ankara (7-6) was the most important one in the last round on Saturday night.

American point guard Chris Lykes (169-1998, college: Arkansas) produced 17 points, 5 assists and 4 steals for lost side.

Koray Cekici contributed with 19 points (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) for the winners.

Dustin Thomas stepped up and scored 19 points and 5 rebounds for the winners. At the losing side Amari Kelly responded with 18 points.
