Erhan Toker, head coach of "Absheron Lions," commented on his team's game against "Ganja" in the second round of the Azerbaijan Basketball League.
Idman.Biz reports that the match ended with a 98:96 victory for "Absheron Lions."
"It was a very high-level match. Since we are still playing in the Eurocup, this match was a good test of our preparation. James Frazier's absence was a serious loss, and it was necessary to see how the team would cope with the game in such a situation," the coach noted.
According to Toker, his players sometimes made simple mistakes, allowing their opponents to make fast breaks. "Ganja" fought well, and the match was great for the fans. Despite the shortcomings, we were able to secure the victory thanks to our careful defense at the end," the coach emphasized.
Toker also highly appreciated De'Ondre Jackson's 31-point performance: "I know his potential well. We use him in several positions - in defense and offense. He took responsibility today and had a great game."
