BLATT, DAVID
Darussafaka Dogus Istanbul
"The last time we played them, we played a nine o’clock game, which is 11 o’clock our time, and we really struggled. We had 52 points. We almost had 52 at the half today and of course we finished with 98. If you want to beat a team like this that has all that talent and all that scoring ability and can run the ball, you really have to score the ball and we did that today. We played right. You should generally shoot about two-thirds of your shots from two and one-third of your shots from three and today we probably did that. It was a big focus; one of our keys was to get the ball in the paint; we probably had 55 paint touches today and that makes a big difference. I think that Dacka is for real and we’ve shown that. We just gotta be consistent and we gotta find a way to win as many games as we can. And fight and see if we can make the playoffs, which would be a great accomplishment for this team. But there’s a long way to go. "
