“Best Balıkesir is a very high-quality team, led by an excellent coach. They have a very nice home court here, and they are well-supported by fans. I warned my lads before coming here. We arrived here after a very frustrating loss against Olympiacos. We were very serious into the match. Our first quarter defense has been the best we did this season. That way, we managed to hold the upper hand in terms of scoring throughout the match. I’d like to congratulate my lads for their performance. They fought and played well. If we hadn’t been well-concentrated, we would have a very hard time. We were well-concentrated, and won by playing well.”
