Defending champion come back from 15 down to prevail 87-77

Down by 15 in the first half, Anadolu Efes Istanbul finds themselves in the 3rd (with a stunning 16-2 run) to beat ALBA Berlin and clinch a Playoff ticket. The visitors, instead, see their late push (6 win in the 8 games preceeding tonight) evaporate as chances are now slim for an improbable Playoff run. Shane Larkin pulls up a season-high performance with 28 points (6/11 from 3) and 8 assists, with Bryant adding 14 and Moerman 13. Da Silva’s 20 points weren’t enough for ALBA.
