Bosna had gone three EuroCup games without a win, and it got the first one against a team that had not lost in seven games across all competitions. The Sarajevo side beat Sasa Djordjevic’s Bahcesehir 86-77 on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, in round 4, handing the Turkish club its first defeat of the season. Bosna took Monaco’s place in the EuroCup.

How did Bosna decide the game against Bahcesehir?

According to B92, the game was played at the Mirza Delibasic hall, where the hosts, backed by a full arena, led 21-13 after the first quarter, mostly thanks to Perry, Pipes and Domask. Mozzart Sport reports that the lead after the opening period was ten points, so the two sources differ on the exact margin, though not on who started well.

Bahcesehir began to close the gap in the second quarter. Mozzart Sport says the hosts’ lead was cut in half by halftime, while B92 says Malachi Flynn and Aleksa Avramovic hit several shots from outside to make it 36-33.

After the break Bosna again opened a double-digit lead, this time up to 13 points. The visitors had one more surge and got to 77-75, which Mozzart Sport says was the closest Bahcesehir came. Then, according to B92, Avramovic and Flynn missed open shots, and Bosna closed out the game from the free-throw line.

Who carried Bosna, and who led Bahcesehir?

For Bosna, Sean Pipes Junior scored 18 points, Deandre Holston 17, Talic 13, and center Reggie Perry 12. Four players with 12 or more points show that the hosts did not depend on a single shooter. For the visitors, Mateusz Ponitka, a former Partizan player, scored 20 points, Markis Reed 15, Tyler Cavanaugh 12, and Avramovic, a Serbian national team player, 9. Flynn, according to Mozzart Sport, finished with 8 points and 2 of 8 from the field.

What did Hapoel Jerusalem do in the same round?

Sasa Obradovic stayed unbeaten the same evening. His Hapoel Jerusalem beat Latvia’s Rigas Zeljije 100-64 in round 4 of Group A and, with four wins in four games, shares first place with Greece’s Aris. Kenny Lofton scored 18 points with 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and Dusan Miletic had 17 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. For Riga, the only player in double figures was Varnas, with 12 points and 5 rebounds.

Miletic earlier told B92 why he came to Jerusalem: “There were talks with Partizan, but I decided because of Obradovic.”
