Overview

Anadolu Efes Istanbul head coach Ergin Ataman:

"Although AX Armani Exchange Milan has some important missing names, Ettore Messina is a basketball genius. AX Armani Exchange Milan is the team with the fewest received points in the EuroLeague. So we must play in high tempo with right offensive selections in order to pass their defense and also we must ensure the defense and rebound control we did in Italy. We have left our mark on European basketball in the last three years. We have achieved a great synergy in this hall, we have succeeded together and we will succeed again. We will be champions! 4 left!"

Anadolu Efes Istanbul player Shane Larkin:

"We were able to get a big victory in Milan in order to get home court advantage. They are a great team and have made adjustments that allowed them to get the win in game 2. We have to come out with the same defensive intense mentally we did in game one and use our home court and great fans to our advantage. If we do those things I feel good about our chances."

AX Armani Exchange Milan head coach Ettore Messina:

"Our situation is well known. As far as injured players, we can only hope to extract some minutes from Sergio Rodriguez. Other than that, we'll try to control the rebounds and their great shooters, well aware that this game is realistically an extremely difficult one."

AX Armani Exchange Milan player Kyle Hines:

"For us it is an opportunity to take advantage of the series, even if we know how difficult the series is going to be, especially considering the many players we are missing. I think the important thing is to keep fighting, to make sure we are going to be the most aggressive team, more focused, and to play every possession in the best possible way."

AX Armani Exchange Milan player Luigi Datome:

"We know it will be a very difficult game, but we hope to recover the physical and mental energy to fight exactly as we did in Game 2. We are aware of the many heavy absences that we have, but in this type of games everyone will be ready to do everything we can to overcome the difficulties."
