Ergin Ataman: “EuroLeague will not be easy this year…”

Defeating Alba Berlin 106-105 in the second-week match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague game, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts post-game:

"It was an unbelievable match for both teams on the offense. Our two guards didn’t struggle to score on the offense, Micic, and Larkin. They’ve created good positions for our bigs. Both teams had no issues on offense. I congratulate Abla Berlin. They’ve shot 46% of three-pointers, but the most important thing was all of their players scored from outside. This is the reason that we couldn’t raise a score difference, we’ve pushed the tempo when we fall behind 6 points at the last 5 minutes of the match. It was crucial for us to win this match tonight. It is proven again that all of the teams are on a high level and there won’t be an easy game in EuroLeague this year.”
