“The team played bad today. Karşıyaka desired the win more than us, and they got a well-deserved win. I would like to congratulate them. We had ups and downs in the first half, but we were unexpectedly terrible on defense in the second half. In comparison, it was like the match on the road against Novgorod. Against our 3/4 court press, one of our characteristic features that came to be known by anyone in the Euroleague, Karşıyaka played with 21 assists and 6 turnovers, indicating how bad our defense was. We have Turkish Cup Quarter Finals ahead of us. We will work hard to learn our lessons from this match and prepare for the cup match...”
