Lonnie Walker Iv rains 7 threes on Virtus Bologna
Lonnie Walker IV delivered the decisive edge in Bologna on Tuesday night, posting 30 points on 9-of-15 shooting—with a scorching 7-of-11 from three—to steer Besiktas Istanbul past Virtus Bologna 103–101. The American's presence stretched across the floor: four rebounds, five assists, a steal, and crucially, zero turnovers across 28 minutes of work. That third-point volume, finished at 64 percent, proved the difference in a game decided by two possessions. Walker moved without hesitation, cashing 5 of 9 free throws when the moment demanded discipline down the stretch. His solitary miscue—0 turnovers in a tight contest—underlined the sharpness required to close out on the road against a heavyweight opponent. Bologna's defense could not sustain enough pressure late. Besiktas' road win stands as one of the season's cleaner EuroLeague performances, anchored by Walker's efficiency when it mattered most.
