Ataman: “We’ve played the game we’re used to playing in the last two seasons with Larkin…”

Defeating Olympiacos team 6th-week away game of Turkish Airlines Euroleague, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts post-game:

"We begin with an amazing offense to the game. We’ve shared the ball well, positioned on the court correctly, and scored through well shots. This increased our self-confidence. Olympiacos started to change their players on the defense, and we’ve had some issues offense-wise within the second quarter. We couldn’t bring the ball in, missed some layups, and failed on the offensive game. The second half was the same. The most important subject of tonight for us was that this was Shane Larkin’s first match after his recovery. He wasn’t able to show the game we’re used to watching from him but he enabled us to play the game we’re used to playing for the last two seasons. Micic and Beaubois played very well as well. We’ve won an important match against an experienced team like Olympiacos.”
