Dexia Mons-Hainaut 74, Beşiktaş Milangaz 63

Beşiktaş men’s basketball bowed out of Eurocup after losing by 11 in return game.

Sitting on a 7 points advantage from the first game, the Black Eagles played solid defense in the opening quarter and were up 18-14 heading into the second. The Belgian team remained within reach most the second stanza, but a series of late three-pointers enabled Beşiktaş Milangaz take a 35-28 lead into the break.

On the verge of elimination, Dexia roared back to life in the second half and managed to pull ahead of struggling Eagles, 53-45, after three quarters of play en route to a 74-63 victory. Beşiktaş will now continue its European campaign in Euro Challenge Cup.
