Turk Telekom Team News
Turk Telekom completely fell apart in the third quarter of the second game against Galatasaray. They lost it by 17 points, and the yellow-red eventually leveled the series at 1-1. Now the top team from the regular season is under pressure, as a quarter-final exit would be a disappointing end to the season.
It should be noted that Turk Telekom is one of the most pleasant surprises of Turkish and European basketball this season. Coach Erdem Can is a former student of Zeljko Obradovic and obviously mastered his craft during the period when they worked together in Fenerbahce. The club from Ankara reached the Eurocup final, where they lost to Gran Canaria, and now they want to at least repeat that result in the Turkish Super League. Jerian Grant played both games in this quarter-final very well, but Tony Taylor and Axel Bouteille “didn’t show up” in Istanbul.
Above all, it will be necessary for Turk Telekom to find the defensive intensity they had throughout the regular season. They allowed only 77.7 points on average, and that’s a recipe for beating Galatasaray in front of their fans without much drama.

Galatasaray Team News
Last season’s recipe for Galatasaray is giving results this season as well. Then, a change of coach just before the start of the playoffs brought them one victory away from the final of the domestic championship. The same move now had an effect as Zvezdan Mitrovic has reborn the team.
Under the leadership of the Montenegrin expert, Galatasaray first won a couple of matches at the end of the regular season, and now they played two extremely serious games with Turk Telekom. The rotation, as was the starting five, was mixed up a bit, and it paid off. Dylan Ennis has fully taken over the leadership role on the floor, while Daron Russell is clearly a bigger contributor when he comes off the bench. Regarding racket control, the super-talented Sadik Kabaca does it phenomenally.
Galatasaray can be happy that they won the second match with a very low three-point shooting percentage. Goksenin Koksal missed all four attempts, Russell made only one of six three-pointers, and if they are more accurate, maybe Mitrovic’s team can reach the semi-finals.

Turk Telekom vs Galatasaray Prediction
Considering what was shown in the first two games, Galatasaray definitely can play another uncertain match with Turk Telekom. Coach Mitrovic brought great experience to this team, and it shows. There is not too much rushing in the attack, and the game is much more organized with respect to the ball.
