In the 1/4 final stage of the Azerbaijan Basketball League, "Absheron Lions" defeated "Sheki" in the second match as well (105:94) and qualified for the semi-finals.
Idman.Biz reports that the head coach of "Absheron Lions", Erhan Toker, shared his thoughts about the match after the game.
"First of all, I thank the players of both teams for a good fight. The season ended today for "Sheki", but they fought very well. Our team could not benefit from the services of injured Jalen Shaw and sick Aubri Makalpayn. We played without defense at the beginning of the game. That is, we were poorly defended. Nevertheless, our performance in attack was good and we maintained the balance. After the game, we tried to fix the defense and a difference was created. After that, we played to keep the score. We are happy that we qualified for the "Final Four". Now we will wait for our opponent. We want to finish the championship at the highest point as much as we can. Once again, I thank all the teams playing in the "play-off", he said.
