Chus Mateo: “We pulled out all the stops and fought until the end'
“We played well and put in a performance worthy of winning the game', said the madridista coach.
Chus Mateo spoke to the press following the EuroLeague meeting between Anadolu Efes and Real Madrid. The madridista coach reflected: “We started the game strongly, on the right foot, but they started to pull away in the third quarter as they were scoring at such a pace. We then pulled out all the stops and fought until the end. We scored more two-point shots, and they had more three-pointers. They posted more points than we did, and that's basketball'.
“We put in a performance worthy of winning the game, we played well. We had a higher rating than they did as a group but they scored one more point than us. They scored a lot of three-pointers in the third quarter and were shooting brilliantly. We didn't go in hard enough or get close enough to them. They hit 35 points and we can't allow that to happen'.
