After minus 42 in the first game of the semi-finals of the Turkish Super League (108:66), the reaction of Anadolu Efes on the field of the biggest rival, Fenerbahçe, was expected.
However, no one could even dream of what would happen in the "Ulker Arena" and how the "brewers" would win the game (92:90).
Everything seemed to be settled midway through the last quarter when Ergin Ataman's team took a double-digit lead, but Fener didn't give up.
Nothing was over even 27 seconds before the end, when Will Clyburn hit a three-pointer to make it 89:82.
Marko Gudurić responded immediately, also behind the 6,75 line, and then Scotty Wilbekin won the "dead" ball in a duel with Ilajj Bryant.
The ball went to Fenerbahce, and immediately Tarik Biberović made another three-pointer for 88:89 with 15,2 seconds left.
Ataman took a time-out, and the problem for Dimitris Itudis was that his team had two "small" fouls.
The Yellow-Blues fouled Vasilij Micic twice, before Nigel Hayes-Davies broke up a desperate pass to Clyburn and dunked for a turnaround with six seconds left.
The trophy-winning coach, who is going to Panathinaikos at the end of the season, did not have a time-out, but the invasion of the home fans on the field allowed him to give advice to his players.
He just said that the ball is going to Clyburn, who with the sound of the siren, over the hand of Hayes-Davis, hit his fourth three-pointer in the last 110 seconds for the final 92:90!
After the final siren, Ataman raised his hands high, and then headed towards the opponent's bench to say goodbye to Itudis.
The Greek wasn't there, because right after Clyburn's XNUMX-pointer, he threw the action drawing board in anger, hit his assistant and headed for the tunnel.
