Ataman: '' We made a lot of mistakes in one-on-one defense…”

Defeated by Germany’s Brose Bamberg team 88-79 in the 26th-week match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague game, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:

"We started the game well. I think that the first half was a close game. But especially in the second quarter with bench players coming on the court, we lost our advantage. Brose started taking control of the game. We made mistakes in one-on-one low-post defense and McCollum in his defense on Zisis. But it was a close game. We lost it at the beginning of the third quarter, Brose made a 10-0 run. We tried to come back making some shots, but each quarter we played very bad defense. They punished us and won the game. Congratulations to Brose Bamberg."
