Defeating Serbia’s Crvena Zvezda 86-72 at the 21th week match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague, Anadolu Efes coach Velimir Perasovic stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:
“We have played a very important match against Crvena Zvezda today. We gain the victory in a game if we can dominate the rival team on rebounds. Also Crvena Zvezda has a high percentage of steals and they manage to win their matches with this high percentage, but today they could only steal 2 times, as because our offense was aggressive and this was very important for us. Therefore we reduced their steal percentage and therefore their fast offence chance was gone, and this was the key to victory…”
