Anadolu Efes hosted TOFAŞ in the Türkiye Sigorta Basketball Super League. TOFAŞ, who finished the game ahead, earned their 2nd win in their 7th match. Anadolu Efes suffered their 2nd defeat in the 7th match they have played this season.

After the game, Anadolu Efes coach Pablo Laso spoke to the media. Laso said the gap opened in the second quarter. He said his team got neither the efficiency they wanted on offense nor on defense in that period. He explained that the gap opened before halftime determined the course of the game, and the team, trailing by eight points, could not close it.

Laso said that in the third quarter his team made a serious effort to come back, but in the final period they could not make the right decisions. Stressing that a team must be ready from the first minute to win such a game, Laso noted that his team was late in showing this.

According to Laso, the opponent made their crucial shots, while Efes lost the ball at important moments and missed open shots. Finally, Laso congratulated TOFAŞ.
