Valencia Basket- Anadolu Efes Istanbul post-game quotes: Álex Mumbrú

03/01/2024

“Our start was not good, they scored very easy shots against us and they escaped. We were able to come back and not leave the first quarter very sore because they had played better. In the second quarter, even though Efes won, we were better except for Larkin's last shot that made them go two up. In the third quarter we came out with clear ideas of what we had to do, a little better defensively and in the last we managed to take the victory against a team that we knew was not going to be easy. It is a team that is made not only to play in the Final Four but to win it, with great players, where they have had a lot of scoring, in which there have been moments in which it was difficult for us to stop their guard like Thompson, Larkin or Beaubois but in the last quarter we were very serious. It should be noted that we played at home, with Fonteta at its best, being together with us and we noticed that throughout the game. Especially at the end, when they got closer, we were able to stay calm and take the game.”
