"We have been fighting very well since the play-in games. Our job was difficult. We lost the first game. This victory did not come easily."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by Erhan Toker, the head coach of the "Absheron" basketball team, in his statement to the press service after the game with "Nakhchivan."
The Turkish specialist commented on the 78:73 victory in the 3rd match of the play-off stage of the Azerbaijan Basketball League: "I congratulate my players. They did not lose their concentration. They fought until the end. This type of match is won precisely by fighting well and playing until the end. We tried to be positive in any tense moment. In the end, we succeeded. We are very tired now. There is little time until the first game of the semi-final. We will rest and immediately prepare for the next game."
It should be noted that "Absheron", which lost in the first match of the play-off series, changed the situation in its favor and won against "Nakhchivan" with a score of 2:1.
