Defending champion Fenerbahçe Ülker defeated Efes Pilsen 81-72 on Monday in a rematch of last season’s Beko Basketball League playoff final.
Croatian guard Marko Tomas poured in 22 points to power his team to the win, while it was veteran playmaker Kerem Tunçeri who led Efes Pilsen in scoring with 18 points.
Lithuanian star Sarunas Jasikevicius made his debut appearance for Fenerbahçe and dished out three assists in 12 minutes.
However, Efes Pilsen filed a complaint against the Lithuanian’s appearance, since he was granted a Turkish league eligibility license only on Monday. The match was previously scheduled for Sunday, so it would have been against the rules for Jasikevicius to play against Efes, the Istanbul team claimed. The Turkish Basketball Federation will decide on Efes’ complaint.
