Besiktas Cola Turka won a showdown to stay in first place in Group B by blasting the Koln 99ers 79-60 on Tuesday at home in Istanbul, Turkey. Besiktas improved to 2-0 and could be sole leader by the end of the Week 2 action, while Koln dropped to 1-1. Preston Shumpert and Sandro Nicevic scored 16 points each for the winners, while Kaya Peker finished with a double-double of 13 points and 10 rebounds and Christian Dalmau added 12 for the home team. Immanuel McElroy was Koln's only double-digit scorer, with 13 points.

Besiktas took over early, racing to a 9-2 advantage on a three-pointer by Shumpert, but Koln answered immediately. The visitors' 2-9 reply over 2 minutes tied it up 11-11 on Aleksandar Nadfeji's basket. Besiktas saw the danger and raised its level of the toughness on defense for the remainder of the quarter as points inside by Nicevic and Peker gave the hosts a 23-18 edge after one quarter. Peker keep on scoring inside to begin the second quarter, while young guard Mehmet Yagmur and Rick Apodaca fueled the rest of a 15-6 Besiktas run. Yagmur's acrobatic layup-plus-free throw made the score 38-24 halway through the quarter, but 5 points from John Bailey helped Koln reduce the difference before Shumpert's tip-in at the buzzer left Besiktas in front 44-31 at halftime. The hosts started the second half as a copy of the first, extending their lead to 19 points with Peker's single free throw at 53-34. Kold answered with a 0-7 burst that included Milko Bjelica's three-pointer and reduced the gap to 12 points, 53-41, on a jumper from Makro Keselj. However, Nicevic returned to scoring to keep Besiktas 16 points ahead at the end of the third quarter, 60-44. Koln's pressure in the last quarter to come back was not effective, as Besiktas increased the lead to 22 points, 75-53, with a late three-pointer from Cevher Ozer on the way to an easy victory in Group B.
