It’s a very slow period of the year for the NBA, but hopefully you’ve been following EuroBasket 2015 to help subdue your thirst for basketball.
If you’re a Detroit Pistons fan, EuroBasket 2015 has been particularly interesting as one of the newer Pistons, Ersan Ilyasova, has been leading Turkey in the tournament.
In Turkey’s game yesterday, Ilyasova scored 15 points on a poor shooting night (5/14 from the field), but Turkey was still able to pull out a win against Germany.
Here’s the game recap from EuroBasket2015.org:
Turning Point: Two triples by Ali Muhammed (Bobby Dixon) either side of a Cedi Osman three-point play propelled Turkey to a 9-0 lead with 8:13 left to play in the opening frame.
