RIGA, Latvia (AP) — Alperen Sengun's triple-double helped unbeaten Turkey to a 91-77 win over Poland and a place in the EuroBasket semifinals on Tuesday.
The Houston Rockets forward had 19 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in an entertaining performance that bolsters his case as a contender for tournament MVP.
With his mother in the crowd, Sengun made a one-handed pass the length of the court to Sehmus Hazer, who dunked and gave Sengun a thumbs up late in the second quarter.
Sengun found Hazer again with a spinning no-look pass in the lane in the third quarter and then treated himself to a one-handed reverse dunk with the game in hand.
Turkey will face either three-time champion Lithuania or two-time champion Greece in Friday's semifinals. Greece played Lithuania later Tuesday.
