Tofas Beat Bordeaux 90-89 on Last-Second Three in Turkish Opener
Yigitcan Saybir hit a desperation three from his own half 1.5 seconds from time as Tofas beat league newcomers Bordeaux 90-89 on the opening night.
Tofas trailed by 2. It went in.
He finished with 18 points. The winner was his only successful three-pointer, from 6 attempts. Bordeaux are the newcomers in this year's league.
If Tofas can take points from tight finishes like this one, an opening-night win may matter more in the table than the way it came. Bordeaux, on this evidence, will not be easy to beat in their first season at this level.
