"It wasn't a bad game for us". Sport24.az reports that this was said by "Absheron" head coach Erhan Toker in a statement to the press service.
He commented on the first game with "Nakhchivan" in the play-off stage of the Azerbaijan Basketball League:
"I can't say we played very badly. We made defensive mistakes from time to time. I can only say for the first half that we allowed the opponent to score a lot of points. My team also managed to score more points than usual, we scored 45 points in the first half. Usually the result is lower than that. Giving the opponent 50 points was one of the negative aspects. In the second half, we were able to play better in defense. We had equalized the match, but we made simple mistakes at critical moments. This led to the defeat".
The expert considers victory in the next match inevitable:
"We have to win the next game and we will prepare accordingly. Both teams are at an equal level with each other. In such games, some nuances affect the match. In the current situation, the main goal is to win the next match".
It should be noted that the second game between the teams will take place on April 22.
