“First of all I would like to congratulate Beşiktaş Sompo Japan, they have deserved the victory. We have had the chance to win at the end of the match but we couldn’t evaluated that chance. It was obvious that our energy wasn’t with the game but this is normal in my opinion after attending to many matches within a short time. Our first job is to refresh the team’s energy. Of course a tough road is ahead of us, Galatasaray Odeabank is a tough viral. We will do the best we can and will try to go to the final.”

Anadolu Efes’s successful player Can Maxim Mutaf also stated his thoughts at the press conference: “There was a beuatiful basketball on the arena today. Both teams played good, though Beşiktaş Sompo Japan played a better ending. We gave a few offensive rebounds at the last part. We have had a chance to win at the end but we couldn’t evaluate it. Now we must get ready in the best way for the play-offs.”
