Defeating Zalgiris Kaunas 74-68 in the 14th-week match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague game, and achieving the eighth straight win, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts post-game:
"We began the game terrific; our offense organization was outstanding. Beaubois played amazing in the first quarter and we’ve controlled the game well. Zalgiris continued to fight within the second quarter and pushed, and so we’ve had 2-3 turnovers. They’ve scored three-pointers with Landale and it was tough to defend, Pleiss and Sertaç couldn’t reach there. The first-half ended neck and neck. We can say that the third quarter ended like the first half. Though, after Larkin started to score it created us options on offense, the atmosphere in the arena was amazing. We failed to defend Ulanovas and Landale’s three-pointers but nevertheless, we’ve found a way to win. This our seventh win in the eighth away game. This holds a great importance for us.”
