Turkey routed Portugal 95-54 to lock in a top-two finish in their group. Alperen \u015eeng\u00fcn shined with 20 first-half points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, setting the tone for a dominant performance. At halftime the gap was already 51-27, with Ataman\u2019s team tallying 9 steals and 28 assists overall.<\/p>\n

Furkan Korkmaz and \u00d6mer Faruk Yurtseven added 14 points apiece, while Onuralp Bitim scored 13. Good news also came from the returns of \u015eehmus Hazer and Kenan Sipahi, who both saw some minutes after recent injuries. Defensively, Turkey gave nothing away, allowing just 10 points in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

With this victory, Turkey will face Serbia for the group\u2019s top spot. Portugal, still winless, sees its qualification hopes fading.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
