with its soccer team not performing the way expected, besiktas was able to find a consolation in basketball by downing its eternal rival fenerbahce by 73-68 in a from the beginning to the end close game, where the highest difference was 11 in favor of the winners under 5 minutes to go, thanks to kerem tunceri's assists and an adequite 3 pt shooting (although former efes coach aydin ors's fenerbahce during nearly the whole game demonsrated some good pieces from the famous efes pilsen zone defence and gave besiktas a really hard time in terms of offense), to win their second derby straight after a somewhat more impressive and comfortable victory over galatasaray by 80-62 earlier this season, in its homecourt, akatlar. thus their derby record in basketball developed as the inverse way of theirs' in soccer.
earlier this season, besiktas had succeeded to also down big guns efes pilsen and ulker again in close games by 81-76 and 66-63, respectively.
