Fenerbahce defeated Besiktas 72-59 to win the Turkish Presidential Cup for the second consecutive year, securing the club's ninth title in the competition.

Wade Baldwin led the winning side with 13 points, adding six assists as Fenerbahce's Yellow Canaries controlled the game against their rivals Besiktas.

The victory extends Fenerbahce's recent dominance in the competition, having now won the Presidential Cup in back-to-back years, adding to a title history that now stands at nine championships.

The Presidential Cup serves as one of the marquee domestic basketball competitions in Turkey, pitting the country's top clubs against one another at the start of the season.

Besiktas fell short in their bid to claim the title, unable to overcome Fenerbahce's performance despite a competitive effort throughout the match.

The result offers early-season momentum for Fenerbahce as the club looks ahead to the rest of its domestic and potentially European basketball schedule.
