Arkas players knew their chances of winning the 2017-2018 Efeler Ligi would be slim to none in case of losing Game 2 of the playoff finals against Halkbank as well. So, they did their best to win it, and made it despite allowing their rivals to recover from two sets down, 3-2 (30-28, 26-24, 19-25, 23-25, 15-8).
Adis Lagumdžija poured in 26 points (2 aces, 3 kill blocks) for Arkas. Mert Matić contributed with 4 kill blocks and 75% attack (9/12). The Serbian Nemanja Petrić and Cuban Fernando Hernández scored 21 points apiece for Halkbank.
Game 3 of the best-of-five playoff finals will be played on April 7.
