Poirier's huge alley-oop slam! Motorola Magic Moment
Though Efes's offense has not been as strong as it was a season ago, its defense has been a bigger problem thus far with Coach Ataman's charges giving up 91 points per game. A stronger effort on the defensive end is pivotal for the defending champs to turn things around in France.
