A quarter of dominant basketball was enough for Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (20-4) to claim their fifth straight BSL win and down 90-81 (19-19, 32-15, 18-23, 21-24) visitors Besiktas Istanbul (13-11) who were coming off of three straight victories in the Turkish League.

The 2017 EuroLeague champions are leading the league standings, with rivals Anadolu Efes following with three wins and as many games less.

Nando De Colo shined for Sasa Djordjevic's squad, as the Frenchman scored 23 points on 8/13 from the field. Sehmus Hazer added 18, Melih Mahmutoglu 13, while three more players hit double-digits.

On the other end, Besiktas saw Rondae Hollis Jefferson pull 23 points, Kenan Sipahi logging 23, but were unable to turn things around when they got back on the scoreboard in the second quarter.

Efes will have the chance to come closer to Fener when they face Darussafaka later today.
