After defeating Beşiktaş Emlakjet 99-86 in the tenth-week match of the Türkiye Sigorta Basketball Super League, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman shared his views as follows:
“It was a good game, we always took the game ahead. But Beşiktaş Emlakjet did not back off. We especially had a hard time keeping guards Matt Mooney and we conceded a lot of points from him. But we passed the ball well, we found the right shots. There is nothing to say in terms of offense, we already scored 99 points. We ate very easy numbers from time to time in defense, of course, fatigue also has an effect. You know, we came back from Kaunas yesterday afternoon, and there is tiredness. As a result, we managed to win the match by focusing more today, at least not making the mistakes we made in the previous league matches, and playing better. Beşiktaş Emlakjet also fought well, but there is a serious staff difference, in the end, the match ended with our victory.”
