The head coach of Runa summed up the result of the victorious game against Uralmash (86:82).
«It was a difficult match for both teams and very important in terms of the standings. After several defeats and overtime in Astana, it was tough for us psychologically. I believe this is why we made a lot of simple mistakes early in the game. I would like to acknowledge the efforts of our players. Alexa Radanov not only scored a lot of points, but also gave us defensive presence. It is very important. Alex Tyus was unbelievable for his age. Jeremiah Hill gave us much energy. Danila Pokhodyaev played well in defense, even if this is not visible from the statistics. I can say the same about the others, the whole team played great.
We still have to make some adjustments to our game. We need to have a full roster. Juen Morgan is finally back in action and we are very happy about it. He needs a little more time to get into shape. Cameron Young has started running. He may be ready to return in early January. I hope we will be able to avoid other injuries and we will be able to work at full strength. We need to become better, develop our system. And today’s win is very important for this process», – Erdogan said.
