Defeating Pınar Karşıyaka team 74-61 in the match of ING Basketball Super League and being the only team with an unbeaten streak in the league, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts post-game:
"I can say that our defensive game was outstanding tonight. We struggled on our offensive game a little because our match traffic is intense at the moment, especially with our players those play in the national teams. Also, Pınar Karşıyaka is one of the most ambitious and tough teams in our league. We had a hard time here at times, especially with our pick&roll game. Sertaç isn’t at his best level yet in my opinion but Singleton contributed very well. We’ve played with all of our players. We will play against Baskonia on Friday evening. This is an important victory against an important rival of our league.”
