Ergin Ataman pointed out Maccabi‘s superiority in the game tonight, while he also commented on Dogus Balbay’s injury. “He has a bruise on his ribs once again, we took him out for precautionary purposes. After the MRI scan, the situation will become clear”, said Ataman.
Efes is also missing Krunoslav Simon, though his return is expected shortly per the Turkish coach: “Simon will not be with us for another 10 days. We expect to return to the league match next week”.
Meanwhile, he also acknowledged the fact that it’s been a tough season for Efes: “Of course, this is an unusual season for us. In summer we will make Anadolu Efes one of the most assertive teams of EuroLeague with an intensive transfer period. Our goal is to be this season’s champion of the Turkish League“.
Maccabi‘s coach seemed pleased with tonight’s result, especially with the three-point efficiency: “I’d like to congratulate my team for this effort because lately, we didn’t play good basketball. You know how important it is for us in the battle of the playoffs“, said Spahija to the press.
