Pınar Karşıyaka experienced great happiness after beating Galatasaray Nef 73-67 in the Turkish ING Basketball Super League. Head coach Ufuk Sarıca, who left the hall with the support of his fans, said that they defeated a team in great form.
Stating that Galatasaray Nef is also fighting very well, Sarıca said, “I congratulate our opponent. Galatasaray is one of the most fit teams of the last 4 weeks. We kept our opponent, who played with an average of 91 points, with 67 points. Our rhythm was low, especially in the first quarter. We have players who were affected by this rhythm, they put them back in the form. “Of course, we can’t go to the top level all season, I think it’s natural that there will be minor decreases,” he said.
Ufuk Sarıca explained that they turned the game completely in their favor in the second period, “We did not lose the dominance of the game to our opponent. We were behind in rebounds in the last two games, but we dominated that part against Galatasaray. We won the match with a great struggle. There are also losses in sports, but we did not allow this. I congratulate my players. We will now focus on Europe. We will think about the match we will play on Monday in the Champions League. We have started to normalize now, the faders are filling up. We need to get used to playing with our audience, and the referees to manage matches with the audience. We have lost our habits for about 1.5 years. “The fouls did not suit the severity of this game,” he said.
