Much to the delight of over 15, 000 fans cheering them all game long, Turkey unleashed its attack bridging the middle quarters. They shot great from the outside and capitalized on France's turn overs and missed shots.
Main gunner Turkoglu was hitting in all places, finishing with 20 points. The turks won despite Ersan Ilyasova's pedestrian game.
It was kinda disappointing for France because they showed promise after upsetting defending world champion Spain in the group elimination phase.
Turkey will next face Slovenia.
