Dusan Ivkovic: “We knew this would be a very tough game...”

Defeating Yeşilgiresun Belediye 73-69 at the 10th week match of Spor Toto Basketball League, Anadolu Efes coach Dusan Ivkovic stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:

“First of all, it was a very difficult game today. Our opponent played well just like we did, and I believe we deserved the victory in the end. We had a hard time unlocking the match. We played badly in the first quarter, struggling to create chances. We only had one assist in this part of the game. Later in the match, we managed to create some balance and claimed control of the game. Yeşilgiresun Belediye is a very good team and a very formidable opponent. Of course we knew this would be a very tough game. The arena is small, and packed with spectators. We had luck on our side, and we won. Right now, we have a very important game against Olympiacos in the Euroleague. We will prepare for that match as good as we can.”
