Throughout the first two quarters, Beşiktaş had a hard time getting those defensive rebounds and loose balls, but thanks to some solid shooting from outside, stayed close to their Russian visitors and trailed only by four points, 43-39, at the break.
 
However, it was a different story in the second half as the Black Eagles turned to tenacious defence and dominant rebounding which would eventually silence Khimki’s hot shooters. Despite facing a 58-53 deficit at the end of the third quarter, they managed to pull ahead 61-60 with two minutes left in the regulation time and did not surrender that lead until the final buzzer. Hilton Armstrong and John Holland paced Beşiktaş Integral Forex with 13 points apiece. So far, the Eagles have won 2out 3 in the 2014-15 Eurocup.
