Head Coaches

ENE, ORHUN

Tofas Bursa

"We didn’t play well. At the end of the game we only played the last quarter smart. Today we are only satisfied with the results. The rest of the game, we didn’t play good defense. We were far away from our average. We have to be smarter. "

JACKSON, JD

ASVEL Villeurbanne

"We were very soft I, think, in the first half. They had 13 offensive rebounds and a lot of points off second chances. Of course in that situation we were passive and were dominated on the rebounds. Our guards got in foul trouble. We were too far behind. We missed some good shots. I didn’t like the first half temp or aggressiveness. Second half I was happy with our effort. I think physically we were very dominant. We did a good job defensively and on defensive rebounds. We were able to run the floor and find some confidence. Our point guard Roberson had a lot of trouble with fouls, really had a great second half. He led the team. He hit a lot of important shots to bring us back. It’s just frustrating at the end to make a defensive mistake on the last possession after so many good defensive possessions. "

Players

ERMIS, BARIS

Tofas Bursa

"I think we started the game well, but we couldn’t keep the same game. They scored some easy points that we couldn’t answer. So our toughness went down. They controlled the game too, they led the game, but as a team we stuck together. We believed we could win and the last four, five, minutes, offensively and defensively, we played very clever. "

CROCKER, TONY

Tofas Bursa

"It was a very hard-fought match. They came in and they played really hard. They had some guys missing, but they still continued to play hard and took it all the way down to the end. We had to make some plays in the fourth quarter to secure the win, but they played a really good game. The team stuck together in the fourth quarter and we were able to get the victory. "
