Cameron Payne's 22 points in 23 minutes carried Efes Pilsen Istanbul past Besiktas in a derby that turned on shooting discipline. The American guard finished 7/10 from the field, 4/6 from three, and a perfect 4/4 at the free-throw line—clinical efficiency that broke a second-half stalemate. Payne's scoring run in the final quarter tilted the balance decisively. He managed only one assist and committed three turnovers, a reminder that his value here hinged almost entirely on volume and accuracy rather than playmaking or ball security. Besiktas tightened defensively at stages but could not sustain pressure; Efes's 89-80 margin was built on the kind of hot shooting that Istanbul's backcourt—and Payne in particular—imposed. The nine-point victory keeps Efes in contention in a competition where such shooting nights separate the margin between survival and slippage.
