Erhan Toker, the head coach of Abşeron Lions, who defeated Shaki in the 15th round of the Azerbaijan Basketball League, shared his thoughts after the game.
Idman.Biz reports that the Turkish specialist stated in a statement to the club's press service that the match was tense and talked about the team selection.
"We gave our main player, James Frazier, a rest. Our other basketball players participated in this meeting and fought well. I also attribute these words to the opponent. A large part of the game was in a head-to-head battle. Today, we also gave preference to local players, and at the same time, two Azerbaijani basketball players were on the court. This can also be related to the cup matches ahead of us. In the end, I congratulate the team members for returning from Shaki with a victory, and I thank the opponent for a great game," Toker emphasized.
It should be noted that the match ended with a 92:85 victory for Abşeron Lions.
