Trabzonspor

Akwasi Yeboah turned in 22 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals on 7-of-11 shooting in 28 minutes as Trabzonspor overpowered Sabah BC 100–83 in Group A of the Basketball Champions League. The forward's efficiency was the difference. He connected on four of seven three-pointers and made all four of his free throws when called upon, never fouling out and ceding just one turnover across his time on court. Sabah had no answer for his scoring rhythm in the opening half, and by the time the visitors adjusted, the 17-point margin had already taken hold. Yeboah's night encapsulated Trabzonspor's control. The hosts built their lead methodically rather than in spurts, and held it throughout. For Sabah, the road trip to Turkey yielded little — they arrived as visitors in a tough spot and left having found few moments to stem the flow.

Marcus Keene a mené Trabzonspor à la victoire avec 24 points en 33 minutes, tirant à 9/15 au tir dont 4/6 de loin, sans commettre aucune balle perdue. Face à Nanterre, le meneur turc a imposé son rythme dès l'entame. Au-delà de ses 24 points, Keene a orchestré le jeu avec 6 passes décisives, les deux équipes ne s'étant jamais vraiment détachées jusqu'aux dernières minutes. Son efficacité offensive — notamment en trois-points — a fait la différence quand Trabzonspor a besoin de points de qualité en EuroCup. Le succès 93-83 consolide la position du club turc en groupe A, et on devra suivre comment Keene et ses coéquipiers maintiennent cette dynamique dans la suite de la compétition.
