Perasovic: “The bad start of the third quarter was the key...”

Defeated by Greece’s Olympiacos 87-78 at the 5th and final match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague play off, Anadolu Efes head coach Velimir Perasovic stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:

“First of all, congratulations to Olympiacos for making the Final Four. They deserved it; they played very tough and very smart. I think we played very good in the first two quarters, we had an advantage and felt good on the court. For me the beginning of the third quarter was the key, when we started very bad. Also I would like to talk about the wistles. Olympiacos played a tough basketball but we received easy fouls, I believe these decisions were not right and thus our tall players had foul issues and this was the key that we have lost the game...”
