Ataman: “We achieved an advantage for the first place of the league…”

Defeating the Semt77 Yalovaspor team 88-69 in the 185h-week postponement match of the ING Basketball Super League, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts post-game:

"We struggled a little within the second half, missed a lot of shots but we’ve scored 27 assists looking at the statistics. This is a good statistic for our offensive game. We lead rebounds 46-29. This is an important win, it is obvious that the league matches especially the away games are dangerous. We achieved an advantage for the first place of the league, we will try to use this advantage. We’ve won the match. The Yalova team fought throughout the match. They pressured us and didn’t let go of the game. Seeing my previous player from the young team, Gökhan Güney as the rival head coach made me feel old a little but I wish him success in his first head coach experience. I hope that Yalova achieves their target and stay in the league. I wish them success.”
