“It was a very challenging match today. Muratbey Uşak is a good team and they have been performing really well this season. We were aware that playing matches four days in a row would create problems for us. However, we conditioned ourselves to play well despite physical handicaps. This intense tempo challenged us a bit. I’m very happy for the win. It’s always important to win in the Turkish League, but winning this one was especially important for us...”

Anadolu Efes’s young talent Furkan Korkmaz also stated his thoughts: “Considering Muratbey Uşak’s matches at home, you can see that they are a formidable opponent. Four of their players didn’t play today, and we were aware of that. We know very well that they will be better with their full roster. Today, the majority of our points were powered by our defense. They cut the lead down to six points in the final quarter. Nevertheless, we managed to win. Winning was important today. I hope we will maintain our winning streak against Panathinaikos as well.”
