Fotios Takianos: «The guys are trying to do everything possible.»

«Astana» head coach Fotios Takianos commented after the game in Minsk. 

«First of all, I would like to congratulate «Minsk» on their victory. It was a tough game. We had the opportunity to force overtime and secure the victory, but we failed to seize it during our final offensive play. Obviously, it's very difficult for us to play overall because we lack key players. The players in the lineup are putting in maximum effort, yet our performance on the court appears somewhat anticipated by our opponents. So, we don't yet have the solution we need. And it's mainly because of the missing players and the guys playing with injuries.  We must find a resolution before the season ends. Our task is to stay and fight in every upcoming game from now until the last match of the season. We're trying to achieve what we set as our primary goal — to reach the top four teams in our group.»
