Myles Turner’s performance may be headlined by his late-game turnover that almost led to a stunning Turkish victory over Team USA, but the starting center put together a strong game led by his early activity on both ends.
The environment in Shanghai, China made it feel like a Turkey home game, as the crowd rallied around the Turkish team in the final minutes as they closed in on Team USA.
However, it wasn’t enough. Khris Middleton hit two free-throws with 2.1 seconds remaining to give USA the victory.
Ersan Ilyasova gave Turkey an 81-79 lead with 12.
