The finalists were defined. BesŸiktasŸ won the closely contested game against Trabzonspor with 90-88. Trabzon was ahead at the big part of the game, but they fall a victim to their inexperience. Match of the day was clearly between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. Fenerbahce won the big derby with 77-70. Darjus Lavrinovic gave his best at this game for this season. He scored 18 points with 80% of 3 point shots. And also he made 6 rebounds 3 blocks 1 assist and 1 steal. Actually as a Fenerbahce fan I got really angry with our team. Because at the end of the third quarter we were 23 points ahead. We could easily create historical difference against our arch rival.

Anyway, Fenerbahce will play against the other arch rival BesŸiktasŸ to get second consecutive Turkish Cup victory on Sunday at 3.00 pm.

Emir Preldzic was the best player for Fenerbache. He played great, he playing better and better for Fenerbache! They will need al the help they can get, now that Turkcan can be out for the season

That was a great victory for Fener thanks to Emir Preldzic's 35 points. But I am very upset because of Mirsad's injury. He is a very important, strategic and special player for us. He is more valuable than cups and titles. Words are not enough to tell his importance for all Fenerbahce fans. He is a real legendary player. He had announced his retirement at the beginning of this season before. Most probably this injury caused to finish his basketball career.

By the way Panathinaikos congratulated Saras for this victory from their twitter account. Thanks for their courtesy to Pao.

If he indeed retire, it's very sad for Turkcan to end his career like this, he deserved a better ending. He is a real legendary player
