Ataman: “We’ve lost our concentration…”

Defeated by Maccabi Tel Aviv 75-77 in the 27th-week match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague, and lost after 12 victory series, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts post-game:

"We began the match in a confused state. I’m not sure if what happened pre-game caused it. No matter what, my players lost their concentrations. We played our own game on both offense and defense within the second quarter and scored 31 points. We’ve shared the ball well. Even though we’ve missed a lot of shots within the second half, we’ve played it well. We’ve had a chance to win the game, we were 6 points ahead in the last 2 minutes of the match but we’ve made mistakes. This is basketball. Someone finally defeated us. We will prepare for the Olympiacos game we will play on Friday.”
