“First of all, I congratulate Gaziantep. They played a good game and fought for the ball. Their percentage was especially well within the first half. We have tried to catch up afterward but our energy wasn’t enough to win. Spor Toto Basketbol Super League is a tough league. Other teams can defeat us when they find a chance. This is what has happened today as well, our rival played an energetic game and won.”

Anadolu Efes’s successful player Can Maxim Mutaf also stated his thoughts: “We couldn’t reflect the game we wanted to play throughout the game. We have had defensive issues. Gaziantep team played with a good percentage offensively, they also played well. I congratulate them. We have a very important Real Madrid match, we will concentrate to that match.”
