Shane Larkin was unstoppable in Game 7 of the Turkish League Finals and helped Anadolu Efes claim the title.

The American guard finished the game with a career-high 38 points (20 of them in the first half) and led Efes past Fenerbahce at the Sinam Erdem Dome (89-74). Consequently, Efes won the series (4-3) and earned its 14th Turkish League title.

Although Fenerbahce remained competitive in the first half (21-23, 44-37), Anadolu Efes took over after that.

The hosts went on a 39-22 run to lead by as many as 21 points and seal the deal (83-62), as the visitors never turned things around.

Aside from Larkin, Vasilije Micic had 20 points for the winners, whereas Kostas Sloukas (21 points) and Nikola Kalinic 19 points) were the best players of the losing squad.

This was the first Turkish League title for Anadolu Efes since 2009.
