Fenerbahce wins Turkish title on buzzer-beating three

Center
Translated & summarized from Mako by baba
The story · English

Fenerbahce captured the Turkish championship on Friday night, edging Besiktas 77-75 in a dramatic Game 4 to clinch the series 3-1 and earn the club's 16th domestic title. The decisive basket came from Tarik Biberovic, who hit the winning three-pointer with less than two seconds left after a scrambled final possession by Besiktas.

Wade Baldwin led Fenerbahce with 21 points, while Biberovic finished with 17 and delivered the shot that will define the game. Five Fenerbahce players scored in double figures, showing the depth that helped them finish off the series.

Besiktas had only eight players available in uniform, with two bench players not used, and that short rotation was not enough to prevent the upset in a tense finish. The win ended the championship series after four games and gave Fenerbahce a title sealed in the final second.
