Defeating Crvena Zvezda MTS 85-70 in the 5th-week and winning the fourth victory in the match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague game, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts post-game:
“One of the positive things I can say about the game is our defense, especially our half-court defense. Twenty turnovers were one of our negative points throughout the match. We aren’t used to having this much turnover at home. We’ve given our rival easy point chances. Also, having only six assists is one of the things we aren’t used to, especially when we usually play with an average of 20 assists. Regardless, we’ve won the game. Nobody can say that Anadolu Efes played well about this match, but we’ve won with a 15-point difference. This shows our power. We have to concentrate and get ready for our match against Panathinaikos on Thursday.”
