Defeated 77-71 by Fenerbahçe at the seventh week match of Euroleague Top 16, Anadolu Efes Coach Dusan Ivkovic commented on the post-game press conference:
“Tonight’s match was very challenging and it went on till the very last moment. The more experienced team won the game, and they deserved it. In the first half, my players were under pressure, and we didn’t keep control of the game as we desired. We failed to maintain our four point lead in the final minutes of the match. They got two critical three-pointers in this part of the game. As a team, we didn’t play on a desired level. We are a new team and we still have a lot to learn. We got four wins in the first half of the this stage of the Euroleague. We have to be better concentrated on the second half of matches, and we have to work more. On Sunday, we will play a very important match against Karşıyaka on the road in Izmir. We have to keep working in this challenging marathon...”
