Anadolu Efes will try to level its Beko Turkish Basketball League (TBL) finals series as it meets Beşiktaş Milangaz tonight. 

Efes visits Beşiktaş Milangaz at the Abdi İpekçi Arena tonight at 8 p.m. in game four of the series. Beşiktaş leads the series two games to one. 

So far, neither team has been able to win at their home court. 

Beşiktaş won the first two away games, before losing to Efes at home 69-67 on June 3. 

On Sunday, forward Kerem Gönlüm powered Efes with 20 points and seven rebounds, while Sasha Vujacic scored 12 of his 14 points in the second half. 

After being outscored 45-33 in the first half, Efes allowed only 22 points in the second half of the game and thus held on to the series. 

Zoran Erceg scored 17 points and 10 rebounds for Beşiktaş, while David Hawkins added 16 points, but failed to convert two free throws that could have tied the game with two seconds left to go.
