It has been a good 7DAYS EuroCup season until now, as we – Turk Telekom Ankara – have already reached 11 wins and qualified for the playoffs. We beat Promitheas Patras 85-75 at home last week. It was a good game. It was one of the first games back from the break, so we knew it was a super important one as well.
We needed to take care of our home court, and I think we did. They are a good team and I think we stuck to the game plan, grinded it out and got it done. Arnoldas Kulboka made things hard for us in the third quarter – he is definitely a great shooter. He has been playing good this whole season. He got hot in the third quarter, and this is why teams have good players. And this is why we have a good team – a good, balanced team – as well, because when we have that type of storm, we've got to weather it and figure out a way to win.
Speaking on very good players, Jerian Grant is up there as an MVP candidate. I worry about my team, you know? Axel Boutielle has been playing great. Tyrique Jones has been playing great. Erkan Yilmaz, Nate Sestina... Everybody has been playing great on our team! We are a real well-balanced team and I'm happy to be playing with these guys.
