Nick Calathes, a member of Fenerbahce, shared his impressions after the win in the Game 5 of the EuroLeague quarterfinal series against Monaco.
Nick Calathes and his team managed to qualify for the Final Four by defeating their opponent away after a dramatic overtime, thus breaking the historical streak. Home teams had a perfect record of 19 wins out of 19 games in the decisive games of the elite competition until now.
“It was a great series, congratulations to our opponents, they showed they know how to play basketball, they had the MVP, Mike James, who killed us. I’m happy for my teammates, who are young and for whom this will be their first Final Four. We are like a family. Tarik Biberovic was also fantastic tonight,” said the scorer of 14 points, including two crucial three-pointers and a steal at the end to seal the game.
Fenerbahce will face Panathinaikos in the Final Four, who also defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv in five games earlier.
