Defeating Spain’s Barcelona Lassa at the away game 89-85 in the sixth-week match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague game, Anadolu Efes head coach Velimir Perasovic stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:
“It is an important win for us. It is not easy to play when you are the only team without victories. I hope we can play the next games with more confidence. We played a very good game, except the last two minutes, in which we wanted to finish the game. Barcelona Lassa almost caught us. We were the controlling team all along the game. We have stopped their transition offense with good defense, stopped their fastbreaks and controlled the rebounds. We played well and I am happy because of the victory.”
