Selcuk Ernak, head coach of Turkish basketball team Trabzonspor, shared his thoughts after the game against Sabah (91:72).
Fanat.az reports that the experienced coach stressed that the opposition deserved their victory and addressed the mistakes his own team had made:
“First of all, I congratulate Sabah on their victory. They fully deserved this win. They proved once again that they are a competitive team. We knew beforehand that our opponents tended to build their game around defence.
At times during the match, we allowed our opponents to dictate the tempo, and they caught us out in situations we had not anticipated. There were moments when we lost our focus mentally. But we will soon get back to being ourselves.”
