“The match had to have a breaking point at some time or another, I believe. We were allowing buzzer beaters. However, we managed to claim the match for ourselves in the third quarter. We ran harder, and we got transitions points. Of course we have to work a lot. And when you work, the result brings itself. We managed to claim the match for ourselves in the third quarter.”

Anadolu Efes’s young talent Berk Demir also stated his thoughts: “We will play a very tough match against Olympiacos. It was a difficult game for us to prepare. While we had some tough moments in the first half, we stepped up in the second half and got a decisive win. It was a comfortable game.”
