U-BT Cluj-Napoca head coach Mihai Silvasan:
"In this competition, every victory is extremely hard. We saw other results and we see that every game is extremely intense and extremely tough. It is a thing that we like, and it is a thing that we need to get used to, to play in some kind of competition. And I am really happy that we stayed strong, mentally and physically, in this game. We won in the end. Big-time thanks to our fans, which were great and really helped us win this game. Each victory in his league is good, we just need to take it step by step. We need to practice good, stay humble, work and fight for every game.
"That was a really intense game in all aspects of it: physically, mentally, it was a close game and each team had parts in which were leading. We needed to stay tough all game and of course, we had the home-court advantage and the fans advantage. I thank them because this was a big plus for us. I am really happy that we took the second win in this group, which is extremely close. Each team can win everywhere. I am happy for this game, especially after a long period in which we didn't have a strong game. That game in the [Romanian] championship was not that strong. So I think they guys reacted well, especially in the second half, when we played much stronger defense. In the first half, we allowed too many shots. They had some unbelievable percentages and finished the game with 65% on two-points and 50% on three-points. That's unbelievable but also, that's our fault because we let them shoot and score that easy. We move forward. We are enjoying this win tonight but are thinking about the next games that we have."
