‘Basketball is a game of rhythm’
Pınar Karşıyaka Head Coach Ufuk Sarıca used the following sentences: “We were behind in the Basketball Champions League match we played against Murcia in Spain last week, but we did not quit the match as a team. However, I think our loss of rhythm today was not due to my players. I congratulate my athletes for their struggle and patience. Basketball is a rhythm game. We deserved to win the match. We got what we deserved with a last-second basket. Now we’re going to play a game we have to win tomorrow. We believe that we will carry the series to the third game in the atmosphere we miss, in front of the packed stands and in front of our fans.”
