Pinar Karsiyaka Head Coach Ufuk Sarıca, speaking about the tough competition, thanked his players for their fight, saying, ‘Nobody believed we could win away in front of 11-12 thousand Galatasaray fans. There was a very heavy atmosphere here, but we played a fantastic game. We were 10 points behind, but we didn’t give up and in the end, we managed to win by playing greatly. Tonight, we were left with 3 foreigners again, Jaylon Brown started the game very well but when he said he couldn’t continue due to a groin injury, we couldn’t let him play. Ergi and Mert made a great contribution at this point. Furkan fought tremendously in the paint. Vitto played with an injury, showing great sacrifice. He could have chosen not to play because he was in pain. We played very rationally under the leadership of Errick and Kenan, with Kelan’s scoring. I am proud of our team character, we don’t give up. We believed we would win today. We brought the series to Izmir but it’s not over. We need to win one more match, and fatigue and injuries are piling up. We need to be ready. Jaylon’s injury doesn’t look good, we’ll see what happens. But in Izmir, at our home, we want to advance to the next round.’
