Turk Telekom used a third-quarter burst to seize control of proceedings and prevailed 78-72 at home over a shorthanded but valiant Manresa to punch their ticket to the Play-Offs.

The Spanish team, that was forced to field a seven-man squad due to injuries and a sudden bout of flu, shot 9 of 15 from beyond the three-point arc and led by as many as 11 points shortly before the halftime break.

The hosts however went on a 23-7 run late in the third stanza to turn the tables on Manresa and a Nick Johnson step-back jumper 1:21 from the end of the period earned Turk Telekom a five-point cushion, 64-59, heading into the final frame.

The hosts built their first double-digit lead of the night in the second frame but a Falco run shortly before the break reduced the gap to 41-35 at the halftime buzzer.

The hosts have now improved to 8-3 and will enter Gameday 12 as joint leaders of Group D, together with Turk Telekom. Torun on the other hand have dropped to 2-9 and are left without options in the race to advance.

Jonathan Barreiro sunk another trey, 6:21 from the end of the second frame, and sparked a 10-0 run which he capped off himself with a layup less than two minutes later, for the Spanish side to stretch the lead to 46-32.

Gaziantep delivered their best two-point shooting display of the season to clinch an 86-79 win over Riga at home, however this success is not enough to keep them in contention for a play-off spot.

The hosts have improved to 3-8 in the Group C standings but Nizhny's victory over Peristeri in Russia rules Gaziantep out of the postseason race while VEF, who have now dropped to 1-10, had already abolished any chance of advancing.

The clash featured 16 lead changes but Gaziantep, who shot 71 percent from within the arc, took possession of the driver's seat once and for all late in the third quarter and held on until the final buzzer.
