Defeating Bahçeşehir College 93-67 in the 9th-week match of ING Basketball Super League game, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts post-game:
“The tempo difference between the first and the second halves was the key to the match. We’ve played with a low tempo within the first half, both on offense and defense. We’ve missed the shots and have had turnovers. When the tempo increased, the team-quality came out to surface. It was a distinct victory with a point difference. Even though Bahçeşehir College is at the bottom, every team is dangerous playing at home. Winning with a point difference after a double-week in Euroleague is important.”
