Ataman: “We cannot perform the tempo we wish from time to time…”

Defeating Bahçeşehir College team 89-66 in the 4th-week match of ING Basketball Super League, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts post-game:

"League matches hold great importance after the double week in Euroleague. We’ve played good basketball in the first quarter of the match. Shared the ball well, defended well. We’ve made a lot of mistakes within the second half especially within the third quarter. We’ve had a lot of turnovers. In the end, it was a victory with a point difference but we have injured players, so we cannot perform the tempo we wish to perform from time to time. This causes easy shots for the rival team with turnovers. As I’ve said, having a lot of injured players brings a burden on the playing players. I’m sure that we will find the right track eventually. Euroleague witnesses different results this season, we are one of the teams that failed to have a good start but the teams those targets the championship are almost in the same conditions as us. We are hopefully looking ahead and I am sure that we will pass these phases and become one of the biggest championship candidates.”
