Ataman: “We played well in the first half of the match…”

Defeating the Beşiktaş Icrypex team 87-72 in the 187h-week match of the ING Basketball Super League, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts post-game:

" We played well in the first half of the match. Beşiktaş Icrypex was lacking some of their players today and I think they were tired. They preferred to save their players as they have an important Eurocup match during the week. Therefore, we preferred to play with our young players during the second quarter. I’m not amazed by our young player’s performance towards the end but this is usual with a high point difference. It was an important win at the end of the day, every victory holds great importance for us. We will play our postponement match against Semt77 Yalovaspor on Tuesday, we will play that match then concentrate on our Euroleague match.”
