Beşiktaş Integral Forex outlast Pınar Karşıyaka 87-82 in OT

The Black Eagles took the court at the Integral Arena with a lineup of Ryan Broekhoff, Hilton Armstrong, Jajuan Johnson, Engin Atsür, Chris Lofton, and pulled ahead 21-17 after the opening 10 minutes, but due to a poor-shooting second quarter, saw themselves down 39-34 at the break. They gained back their rhythm in the second half and sent the game into overtime with Chris Lofton’s buzzer-beater three pointer. Riding Lofton’s hot-hand, Beşiktaş surged ahead 84-80 entering the final minute of extra time and managed to hold on to it until the end. Lofton sparked the Black Eagles with 25 points, while John Holland had 21.
