Laso: We relied too much on Cam Payne's creativity

Anadolu Efes lost at home to Paris in Week 10 of the EuroLeague. With this result, the team suffered its sixth defeat.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, coach Pablo Laso gave his assessment. Laso reminded reporters that his team led in the statistics and had come out ahead of its opponent in steals, rebounds and assists. However, he stressed that small details decide games in basketball, and said Paris were better in those areas and deserved the win.

Laso said that on offense, the team relied too heavily on Cam Payne's creativity. He noted that the opponent was very strong in one-on-one play, and said they had trouble stopping Paris's attacks, especially in the final quarter.

Laso also commented on timeouts. He said not every timeout is called to get a reaction from the team, and that sometimes they are used to break the opponent's rhythm or as part of the game. He added that after the last timeout, they found the shot they wanted but could not convert it into points.
