“It has been a highly competitive match. We started well, but we suffered when we had downturns and couldn’t stop Baskonia’s vertical play. The start of the third quarter penalized us a lot and complicated the game, but we managed to react with very good defense.
Winning is better than losing. The idea we wanted to convey was to have the identity we saw today. There were tough moments, but we had the character to bounce back. Beating Madrid was a step, but we have to continue to return to the level we have shown this season.”
The performances of Jan Vesely and Joel Parra
“Jane made shots of great merit as the top player he is. Not only in attack but also in how he is leading, defending, and communicating with his teammates. I am happy to have him on the team.
Parra has given us a lot of energy because we were a bit tired due to physical and schedule issues. But not only that, he has provided shooting, penetrations, defense, and rebounding, creating situations that have encouraged us. Despite his youth, he is increasingly part of the team.”
