Defeated 80-84 on the road by the Croatian side Cedevita Zagreb at the fourth week match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague Top 16 Group E, Anadolu Efes Coach Dusan Ivkovic commented at the post-game press conference:
“I would like to congratulate Cedevita Zagreb. They deserved the win, and we have lessons to learn from this match. We couldn’t capitalize on easy shots in the final quarter. We were pretty bad at defending Bilan in the first half. We had trouble organizing in the third quarter, and Cedevita Zagreb managed to keep the lead. Although we worked to make a comeback, we eventually lost the game...”
Showcasing the best performance for Anadolu Efes with an index score of 27, Derrick Brown also stated his thoughts: “We were very bad on defense. There is no excuse for this. Cedevita Zagreb was well-prepared, but we have to do better as a team in our upcoming games. It is crucial to be mentally concentrated for the whole 40 minutes. We need to prepare better for our next match...”
