Defeated on the road by Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz 85-84 at the first week of Turkish Airlines Euroleague, Anadolu Efes coach Velimir Perasovic stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:
“It was a very close match, but the key were the first minutes of the final quarter. We allowed an 11-1 run, which let the opponent take control of the game. We actually deserved to win the match, we tried to take our chance, but we could not capitalize on the last ball.”
