The head coach of Runa commented on the victory over MBA (69:63) in the VTB United League.
«It was a difficult game for both teams. We all felt extra pressure because we had lost several games in a row. It's not just about basketball, it's also about psychology. I'm really proud of my guys. After a series of dramatic defeats, they came out and showed character. In the end, we won a difficult game.
We played good defense today. We performed poorly offensively, especially in the second half and the final quarter. Again, the psychological aspect most likely played a role. Congratulations to my players, team and the entire club. We stuck together even after a series of losses, showed stubbornness and showed our desire to win this match.
Thank God another player is back, Cameron Young. Obviously, he has not fully recovered yet. We decided to put him on the court to see his condition. I hope he will be ready for games after the New Year, and we will finally get together in full roster», – Erdogan said.
