Defeating Sakarya Büyükşehir Basketball 100-74 in the 25th-week match of Tahincioğlu Basketball Super League game, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:
“Today we grabbed the control in the game. Of course, we are in the last weeks of the league, we are supposed to be careful. At least we have to save our rank, 3rd place. We are coming to the matches more concentrated in order to make this happen. We have had good faskbreaks and played with good percentages. We found the right baskets every time we tried. We played a good basketball today. Of course Sakarya had their very important player missing today. We have had an advantage of that too and finished this week at the 3rd place with a precious victory.
Our player Toney Douglas also stated his thoughts at the press conference as: “We made a good job defense-wise today. Especially our coach told us to concentrate on defense. Even though we did a good job on offense as well, we concentrated on our defense too and we won the match with our defense today.”
