BSL Semifinals Now Headed to Decider as One Result Remains Unclear
Official box scores must confirm which team reached the final after outlets published conflicting accounts of a 102-93 game.
Overview
- Bahçeşehir Koleji built a 2-1 lead with a 98-95 overtime win that sources report came on Saturday and set up a follow-up home game on Monday.
- Guard Malachi Flynn paced Bahçeşehir in that overtime victory with 27 points and several assists while Hunter Hale and Trevion Williams provided key support.
- Besiktas won the return game on Monday 73-71 to level the series 2-2 and force a decisive Game 5 that will determine who faces the other semifinal winner.
- Coverage of the other semifinal lists a 102-93 score but conflicts on the winner, with Eurohoops crediting Fenerbahçe and Wade Baldwin and Eurobasket crediting Anadolu Efes and Shane Larkin, so the identity of the second finalist remains unverified.
- The BSL semifinals are best-of-five so the next single game will decide who reaches the finals and the disputed 102-93 report means the league’s official box score is now the decisive source for the tournament bracket.
