"The second half was like a copy and paste of the first. We started soft, with low energy, without [executing on] defense. They scored almost 10 points in a row in one moment, and after that we had to find players from the bench who will bring energy on the court."
"It's very important for us to win this game because we had a bad loss a couple of days ago [in the ABA League against Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade]. We had to show ourselves and step up and win when it is not easy to win, because we have some injured players and a small rotation [tonight]. It's tough, but in the end, we won and that's the important thing."
"In the second half we played with more patience – we had less turnovers – but with a roster so short, we struggled any time we had some stops. Congratulations to Buducnost because they played a consistent game. We knew before that it would be a tough game. We fought for 40 minutes, we stayed close with the score until 10 minutes to go, and I think my team has done a good job."
