Ataman: ”My players did a good job on defense...”

Hosted by Zalgiris Kaunas in the 17th-week match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague match, Anadolu Efes won the game with the score of 58-79. Anadolu Efes was ahead with the score 29-40 at the halftime of the match that has been played at Zalgirio Arena.

"Tonight the main thing was that we didn't spend our energy to play aggressive on offense, to play a running game like we do at home, like the mistake in our last games in Moscow and Barcelona. We spent our energy on defense, in rebounds and on offense we controlled the game. We never went to attack early in fast break or transition offense. we tried to put the game on five-on-five offense. We took the rhythm of the game, lowered the score. That's what we like. My players shared the ball on offense and did a good job on defense."
