Banvit beats Oyak Renault

The games you are supposed to win are oftentimes the most difficult to win. This proved to be the case in our game against Oyak Renault. They started off the game playing box and 1 defense (on me). This definitely slowed us down a bit, but we are too good an offensive team to slow down too long (and to box & 1 thankfully!). We were up 9 at halftime and controlled the game the rest of the way, except for when they cut our lead to 4 with about 1:30 to play. But we turned it up and finished strong.

I ended up with 19 points. Not sure what my stats were, but apparently, nothing high enough to remember. We play tomorrow away against Besiktas, in Istanbul. They haven’t been playing well (probably b/c of some money issues), but they were the first place team last year (and the team that knocked us out of the playoffs). I am hopeful our good play will continue. I’ll make sure not to wait a week before the next update!
