Avramovic Sparks Bahcesehir Past Roma
Aleksa Avramovic came off the bench to ignite Bahcesehir's 91-78 victory over Roma in their EuroCup regular-season opener at the Sinan Erdem Sports Hall. The hosts established a seven-point lead by halftime and extended their advantage to eleven entering the fourth quarter, never looking back. Bahcesehir maintained control throughout, ultimately sealing the win by thirteen points.
The Turkish side showcased impressive offensive efficiency, shooting 50% from the field (35/70) and dominating the bench scoring battle, 35 points to Roma's 11. Despite a stellar individual effort from Niccolo Mannion, who poured in 29 points and dished out 5 assists for Roma, and 16 points from Gerald Ayayi, their contributions couldn't overcome Bahcesehir's depth. Avramovic, with 13 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, was a crucial spark, while Malachi Flynn chipped in 14 points. Trevion Williams also made a significant impact, narrowly missing a double-double with 9 points and 10 rebounds, alongside 7 assists. This win sets a positive tone for Bahcesehir's early EuroCup campaign.
