Defeating Greece’s Olympiacos 77-69 at the 29th-week match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague, Anadolu Efes head coach Velimir Perasovic stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:
"I think always when you play against Olympiacos it's a tough game because they always put the level of intensity very high. For me, it's the best defensive team in EuroLeague, and today we scored a lot of points because we were aggressive, especially after the first five minutes, when we started very bad. After that we were aggressive on offense, we found ways to score, and that was the key. We didn't lose many balls against them; turnovers are always important against Olympiacos. And we also stopped their offensive rebounds. They took some, about nine I think, but that's not too much when you play against Olympiacos. That was another key."
