Ataman: “The Finale of the Series will be played in Istanbul…”

Defeated by the Real Madrid team in the 4th-playoff away match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts post-game:

"Both teams fought very well. It was an odd match. We were trailing 0-17 in the first 5-6 minutes. Then we’ve changed the flow of the match and controlled the game until the final 5 minutes. We couldn’t find the sixth or seventh played to contribute to us tonight other than our 4-5 players. The players who tried so hard to change the first part of the match became tired and we’ve lost the match in the final 5 minutes. Real Madrid didn’t give up just like in the first match we lost against them. The series is 2-2. This is a tough series. The finale will be played in Istanbul.”
