"It was a very good victory for us. We started the first half a bit poorly. We couldn't defend well. But in the 2nd half, we defended well."
Idman.biz reports that Erhan Toker, the head coach of the "Absheron" basketball team, said this in a statement to the press service after the game with "Nakhchivan".
He commented on the 85:79 victory in the second game of the play-off stage of the Azerbaijan Basketball League: "Today, Ismayil Abdullayev and Omar Yavas were very helpful to the team. Of course, we must not forget the efforts of our other basketball players as well. We have one more game against this opponent ahead. We want to advance to the semi-finals by winning. I also congratulate the opponent for the good game. It's a very good team. I think we will be able to watch another similar match between these teams."
It should be noted that "Nakhchivan" won the first game between the teams with a score of 88:83. The fate of the pair will be clarified in the 3rd match.
