EuroLeague playoffs Game 2 action will conclude on Friday with Anadolu Efes and Real Madrid hosting FC Barcelona Lassa and Panathinaikos OPAP, respectively. Both home sides want to progress to 2-0 in the best-of-five series and the Turkish team is no exception.

Ahead of Game 2, Anadolu Efes’ boss Ergin Ataman pointed out: “The playoff series are going on. We must analyse what we did in the first game and we must play in the same rhythm but must play smarter. For each ball we must fight together with our fans!”

Bryant Dunston added: “Game 1 was a good opener for us. However, that game is over. Game 2 is a completely new thing and we have to use what we learned to fix some things. We have to rebound the ball better. Continue to play physical and get them out of what they want to do. We have to continue moving the ball and controlling the tempo of the game. We thank our fans for the support yesterday and we need that same energy in Sinan Erdem on Friday!”
