Gaziantep Basketbol head coach Stefanos Dedas stated that the win was very important, saying 'It was a very important win. In fact, it was one of the most risky wins of the season. We knew it wouldn't be easy. Karşıyaka has a very good team chemistry. Because they have only 4 foreign players. First of all, I'm happy that we won. We played good basketball for 20, 25 minutes, we played team basketball. We also made an effort in defense. But the last quarter was a bad game for both teams. I thank my assistants.' Pınar Karşıyaka head coach Aleksander Trıfunovıc said that they had two flights and that this affected the team's energy negatively, stating 'I congratulate Gaziantep Basketbol, I also congratulate my own players. We had a lot of problems. We had two flights in one day. This also affected our energy in the game. But we are still at the beginning of the league. I wish Gaziantep good luck, we will meet again in the second half.' Gaziantep Basketbol gained an important advantage in the league with this win.
