Defeating Spain’s Barcelona Lassa team 102-68 in the 3rd-playoff match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague away game, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman shared his thoughts at the post-game conference:
“We’ve started the match very good, shared the ball well. We didn’t repeat the mistake of fastbreaking without sharing in the second match. We’ve shared the ball well from the inside to outside and turned it into outer shots, this increased our self-confidence. It was an amazing match for us, we were good at defense as well. We’ve struggled a little at the beginning of the second half, we’ve missed some shots and Barcelona closed the point gap but we’ve turned the strategy to the first half’s straight away. We’ve played amazingly. Barcelona was demoralized in time, they started to miss shots and layups. We’ve won the match but the series is still 2-1.”
