Defeating Spain’s Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz team 102-92 in the 29th-week match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague game, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman shared his thoughts at the post-game conference:
“I think that we’ve played flawlessly today on fastbreaks. We only failed to show energy on the second quarter and I believe that this is quite normal considering that we're playing in a match that won’t change our ranking and trying to concentrate. I gave chances to players who didn't have more minutes, Pleiss, Sertaç and Buğrahan and they’ve played perfectly, also the contribution of Micic and Larkin was very important. We’ve won the match, I am sorry that Baskonia lost but we’ve shown respect to the match. We’ve proven that we’re a candidate to the Final Four. I hope that we will go to Vitoria again in May.”
