Nick Calathes, a member of Fenerbahce, shared his impressions after the win in the first game of the EuroLeague quarterfinal series against Monaco.
Fenerbahce secured the win after overtime and a remarkable comeback against Monaco. Nick Calathes had an outstanding game with 17 points, including some crucial points towards the end of the game.
“The defense made the difference, especially in overtime. I had some misses from the free-throw line, I need to do better than that. Now it’s time for us to rest a bit, catch our breath, but it’s only 1-0. We have another game coming up on Friday. Every game is important, especially on the road. I think Monaco is a great team led by a fantastic coach, but we showed toughness and strength and won. However, this is just one game.”
The second game of this series will take place on Friday at 7:00 PM, with Monaco hosting once again.
