Halil Atlı, the head coach of the "Ganja" team, shared his thoughts after the game against "Sabah" in the 19th round of the Azerbaijan Basketball League.
Idman.Biz reports that the specialist stated that two key players - Erik Koups was injured and Kori Reeves was suspended - were absent from the match.
"We had two losses today. Our tall player rotation was reduced. Of course, these are not excuses. But I think it affected us mentally. We started the match like that. The change in rhythm in the 2nd and 3rd periods also showed itself in the result of the game. We reduced the difference to 4 points. Then simple mistakes, fatigue caused by the shortage of the squad did their job. Inaccuracy in shots also determined the final score. There is a holiday break. We have one game left, after this match we will prepare better for the playoffs," the head coach emphasized.
It should be noted that the match "Sabah" - "Ganja" ended with the victory of the former with a score of 87:73.
