Defeating Tofaş team 87-79 in the 22nd-week match of Tahincioğlu Basketball Super League game, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:
“This was an important victory for us for our placement in the league and for the motivation. We had an unexpected lost at Giresun last week. Today we played a good basketball against Tofaş today. The flash team of the league is Tofaş. We had the control of the match all along. Of course our goal is to play better. I am very pleased with our players performance and for the performance of the match today.”
Our player Brock Motum also stated his thoughts at the press conference as: “We knew it was going to be a tough game. We played against Tofaş recently on the PTT Turkey Cup finals. It has been a tough week for us. There were double matched on Euroleague, and it was a bad week for us. We knew that we were suppose to win this match. As now Simon joined us as well, we are now a full team. I hope that we will find a momentum to finish the Turkey League strongly.”
