“This was a hard game like every other match in the Tahincioğlu Basketbol Super League. We know that Trabzon is a good team on offense. Caleb Green started the match with finding easy points and became effective with the 11 points that he has scored, though this was a disadvantage for us for the rest of the first half. Though we were good at the defense in the second half. We managed to control the important players of the rival team. Actually, we could’ve won without going into the one-time. Though what is important is the victory today. I congratulate my players.”

Anadolu Efes’s successful player Vladimir Stimac also stated his thoughts at the press conference: “I congratulate Trabzonspor. We are happy that we have won the match. This was an important match for us. I am happy that we continued as the plan even though we played in the overtime. This was an important match for us and we have a Euroleague match ahead of us. I congratulate our coach and our team. Now, we will get ready for the next matches, we do not wish to talk too much, we must work harder to become better.”
