After defeating Spain’s Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz on the road with a score of 89-84 in the ninth week of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, Anadolu Efes head coach Tomislav Mijatovic shared his thoughts during the post-game press conference:
“First of all, I had mentioned before the game that it was going to be a great EuroLeague matchup. Both teams fought hard, and neither side was able to establish a comfortable lead throughout the game. We led the score and managed to widen the gap, but our opponents came back. Then, we came back again and won the game. I sincerely congratulate both teams for providing us with such an excellent EuroLeague game. I want to add that we are very happy right now, and I am incredibly proud of our players. Against a team full of individually talented, athletic players in every position, led by one of the best coaches, Pablo Laso, our players never gave up the fight. That’s why I would like to congratulate all of our players and staff once again. Today, everyone in the team contributed, everyone fought for 40 minutes, and we achieved an incredible victory in this very tough road game. Now, we must continue this way and give our best both at home and on the road.”
