Defeating Gaziantep Basketball team 88-81 in the 8th-week match of Tahincioğlu Basketball Super League game, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:
“It was a typical league match. Even though we came from the double Euroleague week we have had a serious participation from our A-Team players. We won the match because of their performances. Though we would've preferred to have the players those don’t take a lot of minutes to take part in these games. Though it wasn’t possible for tonight. We have the National Team week ahead. I wish good luck to the National Team committee.”
Our player Brock Motum also stated his thoughts at the press conference: “To be honest, it was a tough game for us as because it began at an early hour, it was different for us. We have had a tough week. We played in 4 matches this week, two of them was in Euroleague and we knew it was going to be tough today. I congratulate the rival team for their good game, I respect them. Though we finished the week with 4 victories. This is a good score for us. We will play against Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz next week. Anadolu Efes supporters supported us in the last Euroleague matches very well. We would like to have them here, supporting us again for this match as well.”
