Turk Telekom Ankara-Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse | Round 17 Highlights | 2023-24 BKT EuroCup
Having lost the first quarter 22-30, Turk Telekom closed shop in the other three to stifle Cluj’s offense while Brown fired on all cylinders on offense, with the hosts finishing on 14 of 25 from downtown and containing the visitors to just 5 of 24.
Brown was somewhat stunned by his own performance after several patchy displays in the opening rounds.
“I am happy we got the win and I don’t know how to feel right now,” he said in a post-game interview. “I haven’t been shooting good in the EuroCup the first five or six games and I knew I was due a big night. I was being aggressive and played free because the coach gave me a lot of confidence.”
Head coach Emre Can was able to breathe a sigh of relief after seeing his team snap a three-game losing streak in the most emphatic fashion.
“We were not aggressive enough in the first quarter, which is why we conceded 30 points,” said Can. “But we were good once we became aggressive and started running up and down the floor, which is what we need to translate on to the upcoming games. It’s a long season and we need to keep that mentality every single day.”
A flowing team performance by Turk Telekom engineered a whopping 23 assists and 34 rebounds, while an ironclad defense generated 7 steals as it also forced 14 turnovers from Cluj.
