Post-Game Quotes: Turk Telekom 85-71 Partizan



Henrik Rodl, Turk Telekom Ankara
"Congratulations to my players. They fought very, very hard. I thought we were very together and dealt with their pressure really well. We expected a lot of pressure. That really hurt us in the first game and I thought we dealt with that a lot better today. I thought our guys were really together as a group, and I think that is the most important part. We are healthy at the moment and hope it stays that way. That makes a huge difference for our team. It was an important game for us to win; it was a very good win. I think we have a very good chance to go to the next round but there are still many games to be played. You don't win against the first in the group every day, so this is a special day for us. I thought our guys played very hard, and we look forward to playing some more games."

"I want to congratulate Turk Telekom because they played a very good game. They deserved to win. They dominated the game from the first minute until the end of the game. In many moments of the game, we were really slow, without any kind of energy. And this is the main thing: if you want to win the game, you need to play really hard and try to give everything you have inside of yourself."
Anthony Clemmons, Turk Telekom Ankara
"I just try to bring what I can bring to win the game. I think we have been really desperate for a win like this. I am proud of our guys, we all came out ready to play and approached this game. You have to give Partizan credit, they came and put on a fight for 40 minutes. I am just happy for my guys and happy for this win. We needed it. We wanted to protect our home court. My teammates helped me have this performance."
