Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul extended their perfect Turkish BSL winning streak to six games, after comfortably beating Tofas Bursa 82-68 (26-18, 17-15, 21-15, 18-20).

Dimitris Itoudis saw his players get a double-digit lead at the end of the first half (43-33), which they retained in the 20 minutes that followed.

Fenerbahce are sitting at the top of both the Turkish league and the EuroLeague standings (7-1), having played one game less than their rivals, as their fixture vs. Besiktas was suspended so that the Turkish NT could prepare for the World Cup qualifiers.
