Two late Malachi Flynn three-pointers helped preserve Bahcesehir’s perfect 5–0 record, leaving three teams one win behind.

Bahcesehir carried its unbeaten start through round five of the Turkish BSL basketball league, beating Besiktas 100–96 at home to reach five wins without a loss. Besiktas fell to 2–3.
Malachi Flynn hit two late three-pointers to help Bahcesehir build a 96–91 lead. Besiktas could not complete the comeback, and Flynn finished with 13 points.
Eurohoops said Besiktas’s Lonnie Walker tried to return in the fourth quarter after a hard fall and a heavy foul by Flynn, but lasted one possession before limping off again. Walker did not return during the game and finished with 15 points and four rebounds in just under 20 minutes.
Anadolu Efes beat Korfez Basket 93–77 at home on Sunday to reach 4–1. Korfez cut into Efes’s lead by winning the third quarter 30–18, but Efes won the final quarter 26–15 to pull away again. Korfez finished the round at 2–3.
Fenerbahce responded to the previous week’s loss with a 97–72 victory at Karsiyaka, winning all four quarters. Fenerbahce’s record stood at 2–2, while Karsiyaka fell to 2–3.
