First Home Game of the Season!

Well yesterday we played our second game against BC Rakvere Tarvas at home in Bursa and pulled out a very ugly game full with turnovers. I personally played a terrible game but on the bright side, my teammates Steve Burtt, Austin Nichols, Kenan Sipahi and Josh Heytvelt had pretty good game all around  The final score was 79-76. Below is the game summary!
