No Christmas truce in Türkiye, a predominantly Muslim country. Moreover, Galatasaray almost didn’t have the heart to celebrate. On their way to the capital, the girls of Firat SCHOOL were in fact manhandled for 3 quarters by a very concentrated Ormanspor team (50-46, 30″), like Diamond DESHIELDS (19 points, 5 rebounds). To get out of it, it was necessary to Dorka JUHASZ (25 points, 11 rebounds) and his partners found a second wind at the end of the match to win with forceps. Moreover, Marine JOHANNES was not on the scoresheet. On the banks of the Bosphorus, Emlak Konut believed in a feat for a half against its illustrious neighbor, Fenerbahçe (36-43, 20′). However, when returning from the locker room, Victoria MACAULAY (24 points, 8 rebounds) and her teammates were quickly calmed by a Iliana RUPERT in great form (20 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in 28 minutes) and who took his entire team in his wake to go towards a great success. Note that Gabby WILLIAMS scored 8 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds in 25 minutes.

Not far away, spectators at the Besiktas Akatlar Arena get their money’s worth. The Istanbulites had taken the match from the right end, thanks in particular to Mariella FASOULA (22 points, 9 rebounds). However, they were surprised to see Kiana WILLIAMS (25 points at 90%) and Botas get his head out of the rut when returning from the locker room and become dominant again to win. Note that Mamignan TOURE scored 10 points, grabbed 4 rebounds and delivered 1 assist in 20 minutes. No problem, however, for Kayseri! By taking over Dardanelles Canakkale from the second act (27-13), Idil TURK (17 points including 4/5 at 3 points) and her partners showed that they were going to be unplayable in this match. The second half was more balanced and it was therefore without any problems than the locals, although still without Mary Filipwon.

Passionate about women’s basketball since I discovered it a few steps from my primary school in Valenciennes, I have met the right people at the right time over the years. From now on, I see this site as a good way to get people talking about this sport, its actresses and actors.
