The curtains came down on the Euroleague Top 16 with a clash between two city archrivals, Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe Ülker in the Group F. Although both teams threw in the towel for the playoff struggle weeks ago, they desperately fought to clinch victory. Beşiktaş erased an 18-point deficit to beat Fenerbahçe, passing the bottom slot in the group to their rivals.

Daniel Ewing led Beşiktaş with 17 points and Damir Markota netted 16 points for Beşiktaş. Oğuz Savaş scored 14 and Uros Tripkoviç 12 points for Fenerbahçe. Yellow Canaries point guard Bo McCalebb scored nine points in the first five minutes, but left the game with an injury.
