Ergin Ataman: “Our rival played tougher and willingly.”

Defeated by Darüşşafaka Basketball 67-79 in the 28th-week match of Tahincioğlu Basketball Super League game, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:

“We were the team that started well and had the dominance of the game at the beginning. Especially towards the end of the second quarter the game balanced out. We fallen behind with their three-pointer they scored at the last second of the first half. In the second half Darüşşafaka played tougher and willingly. They played a very well basketball. Our shoots were low percentage-wise against their toughness. McCollum and Simon’s three-pointer percentage was 3/15. So Darüşşafaka won the match wıth Kartal’s 18 and Okben’s extra 9 points, congratulations.”

Our player Brock Motum also stated his thoughts at the press conference as: “It was a tough match. We won 6 matches in a row. We failed to play the game we were meant to play and we have lost. This isn’t good for us. Darüşşafaka played a well match. Our target is to show our good performance on the play-offs.”
