Ataman: “It was a match that helped us to stay at a certain rhythm for the Final Four…”

Defeating Pınar Karşıyaka team 96-66 in the 28th-week postponed match of Tahincioğlu Basketball Super League, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman shared his thoughts at the post-game conference:

"It was a match that held great importance for us. We knew that Karşıyaka was going to play very well in front of their supporters. We’ve played a very well basketball, we’ve won the match and also, it was a match that helped us to stay at a certain rhythm for the Final Four. In the matter of winning against Afyon Belediyespor on Saturday, then we will finish the regular season in the first place after long years.”

Our player Sertaç Şanlı also shared his thoughts at the press-conference: “Karşıyaka is a tough away-game team. It doesn’t matter if it is the beginning or the ending of the season. They’ve shown it at the beginning of the match anyway. We’ve won with increasing the toughness of defense. I hope that we will finish the league in the first place.”
