Defeating the Türk Telekom team 86-84 in the 17th-week away match of ING Basketball Super League, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts post-game:
"It was an amazing and competitive match. We played very badly in the first half of the match. It isn’t easy for the teams those play after the double week in Euroleague, but we’ve spoken about it in the halftime. We’ve played very well within the second half. Wiltjer played amazingly in Türk Telekom, I would like to congratulate him. Larkin is injured on his knee, he wasn’t able to train for the last two days. He tried to play at the beginning of the match but he was in pain and we didn’t push it. In the end, we continue our journey in the league with an unbeaten streak. I congratulate my players for their performances within the second half.”
