"I congratulate the opponent. They fought well throughout the game. In general, both teams performed well. There were moments when both they and we faltered."
Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by Halil Atlı, the head coach of the "Ganja" basketball club, after the game with "Ordu".
The match ended 108:106 in favor of "Ordu".
"This is our second such match that went into overtime this season. It is not easy to play extra periods away. Our team did not give up the fight. We played great. But one or two simple mistakes affected the result. One of the things that caught my attention is that we benefited from 21 more balls than our opponent in "field goals". Nevertheless, we lost the game. We will analyze where we went wrong and prepare for the second game. The low shooting percentage inevitably hurt us. In this case, it does not seem easy to win against such an opponent away. We want to correct our mistakes and win at home to continue the series," Atlı said.
