Montepaschi still perfect after downing Besiktas

Fifth win in a row for Siena in the Top 16

EuroLeague

Montepaschi Siena kept its perfect Top 16 record intact by holding off Besiktas JK Istanbul 63-57 and taking sole possession of first place in Group F. The win improved Siena’s record to 5-0, while Besiktas dropped to 0-5 at the bottom of the group. The hosts, who played without Tomas Ress, controlled the first half as their lead reached 14 points several times, but Besiktas opened the third quarter with a 0-11 run, and by holding Siena to only 2 field goals in the quarter, took a 43-45 advantage entering the final 10 minutes. However, Siena’s defense held its own down the stretch and the hosts pulled out the victory with Bobby Brown and Viktor Sanikidze scoring key baskets. Sanikidze finished with 14 points, and Brown had 13. Matt Janning chipped in with 10 points, while Kristjan Kangur grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds. For Besiktas, Curtis Jerrells scored 16 points. Gasper Vidmar added 14 points plus 6 rebounds and Damir Markota had 12 points plus 8 rebounds in defeat.
