Efes coach Ataman after reaching Euroleague final: “One more for back to back”
The comment after the last second win against Olympiacos
Ergin Ataman, Anadolu Efes Istanbul head coach: "First of all, I want to say congratulations to my good friend Bartzokas. It’s very bad luck for them. This buzzer shot, it’s better to stay on the winning side. They made a great game, congratulations to Olympiacos club and fans, they made an incredible atmosphere here. They are a very strong club, good club. The game was amazing, up and down. We didn’t start well, but in the second half, we took control and led by 10, 11 points. But we got tired, especially Larkin got some problem in his knee. He got tired, Micic got tired, we missed a lot of shots, a lot of penetration to close the game, and Olympiacos came back. Finally, it was a very difficult game, but now one more for back to back."
