"We didn't want to play that way, that is not our game [fast-paced]. We were bad on defense but compensated on offense. But if we want to make something this year, we must play better defense. It was an important factor for our win to control the rebounds, but again, in some moments, we should have done a better job, especially on boxing out. In some crucial offenses, they made second-chance points, but in the end, it was important that we won."
"First, I want to congrat the whole team for the win. It was a good fight tonight. We had our chances but at the end of the day, we were not good enough or consistent enough to take the victory. Our percentage on three-point shots was bad, 29% and on free throws 54%. We fought, got 16 offensive rebounds and tried to play defense but in the end, they scored better than us and won.
"It was a huge fight. Unfortunately, for us, in all three games that we've lost until now, people said that we fought well. We still need to learn to win in this competition. We missed also today Karel Guzman from our main rotation. So that was also a problem for us. At the end of the day, I am happy that we fought. I thought we could win this game, we stayed until the end. They made some important shots and that was the outcome. We don't want to break after just four games. No team is unbeatable for sure, and we will still try to improve. We will still try to be better in each game. Now it is a break for us with national team windows, so we have time to analyze, prepare, rest and try to be better."
"It led us by the whole club, by the whole city. This game, for us, is a big win because we came back after a loss, so it is very, very good. The effort was at a high level, especially in the last two quarters, but we managed to play our game and I am so happy for this group of guys and staff. Maybe we are some small team but we have managed to do some big, big things."
"It was a tough game. We had a lot of lapses in defense and we allowed a lot of offensive rebounds. This means effort in execution. It is just the fourth game, there is still time to improve."
"Again we lost a tight game. We gave our best, we fought until the end. This is just the beginning of the season and we are a new team in this competition. We need to learn how to win in this competition, we have quality and I am sure that good results will come."
