Defeated by Italy's AX Armani Exchange Olimpia Milan team 77-64 in the 24th-week match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague game, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:
"It is difficult to play this type of a game without main motivation. I think the first quarter we played our regular game, but especially in the second quarter, with bench players coming on the court, we lost our game discipline and defensively made terrible mistakes. We lost the second quarter by 15 points. The rest of the game was the same, and it was a terrible game for us. I congratulate AX Armani Exchange Olimpia Milan team for their victory…”
