Fenerbahce captured the Turkish championship on Friday with a dramatic 77-75 win over Besiktas, sealing the best-of-five final series 3-1 and earning the club’s 16th title. The decisive basket came after a chaotic final possession and left less than two seconds on the clock.
Tarik Biberovic hit the winning three-pointer and finished with 17 points, but Wade Baldwin led Fenerbahce in scoring with 21. The shot is expected to be the moment remembered most from the game, given how late it came and how it decided the championship.
Five Fenerbahce players scored in double figures, while Besiktas used only eight players, with two bench players not seeing action. Despite that, Besiktas could not hold on in the closing moments.
The match was played on June 19, 2026, and was described as one of the most dramatic finishes possible in Turkey. Fenerbahce emerged as the new champion after four games in the series.
