“Today, we were very tough on defense into the game and started increasing the lead in the first quarter. When the opponent tried to catch up, we responded with our toughness, which became a huge factor for the win.”

Anadolu Efes’s young talent Berk Demir also stated his thoughts: “We displayed tough and successful defense from the start. This allowed us to increase the margin. We were also very good on defense in the beginning of the second half. We had the control throughout the match. We got a good victory. I would also like to congratulate our opponent. This was a good match before playing against Unics Kazan on Tuesday at Turkish Airlines Euroleague. I hope we will get the win from that match as well.”
