Besiktas respond after late-game incident with Malachi Flynn

Besiktas reach EuroCup final after chaotic finish

Besiktas sealed their spot in the EuroCup final by winning Game 2 of the semifinal series against Bahcesehir in a tight, tense matchup. The game didn’t end quietly — tempers flared in the final moments after Bahcesehir’s Malachi Flynn, clearly frustrated by the loss, shoved Besiktas guard Devon Dotson from behind and appeared to attempt an elbow before that push.

The shove set off a brief on-court scramble, with other players stepping in and referees eventually escorting Dotson up into the stands to help defuse the situation. Thankfully the chaos didn’t escalate further and play didn’t resume, but the incident added an ugly coda to an otherwise big night for Besiktas.

Club replies on social media and shifts focus to the final

After the game, Besiktas responded on social media with a playful image aimed at the confrontation, which only seems likely to keep tensions simmering between the teams. Still, the club appears intent on moving past the drama and preparing for the final.

Besiktas will wait to learn their opponent in the final — the other semifinal between Turk Telekom and Bourg will decide who they face. For now, the team’s focus will be on recovery and game prep rather than the late-game incident.
