Despite the shocking and unprecedented events, and despite the awards made in the game, our team, Turk Telecom, has made all of Turkey proud, regardless of the outcome. The horrific incidents experienced by the team before, during and after the crucial game that would decide the champion prompt the Turkish Basketball Federation to review its relationship with the EuroCup governing body.
