Post-Game Quotes: Andorra 61-60 Partizan



Ibon Navarro, MoraBanc Andorra
“We had a very good approach to the third quarter. Our defense was excellent, we controlled the turnovers, and we started to play earlier than in the first half. We did exactly what we wanted to do. In the fourth quarter our energy was lower and we didn’t know how to do things easily, we had to win like this. It’s a prestigious victory for the club, the team, the country, but we don’t have too much time to enjoy it. Partizan is one off the best rosters, with the best coach in Europe, and is one of the front runners to win this EuroCup with Lokomotiv, Valencia, Virtus…that’s why I say it’s a very prestigious victory. We had players who are going to play in the NBA and probably the best coach in the history of the EuroLeague.”
"It was a very good game, despite the low points it was two teams playing with great defensive concepts and a lot of aggressiveness. It was a defensive battle. The low scoring was not just because of a lack of accuracy but also good defense from both teams. We had a very good energy for 30 minutes that gave us the opportunity to win this game and I want to congratulate my players for the big effort they made."

"I want to congratulate Andorra for the win. We played the game that we expected, very hard and very difficult. We had a lot of ups and downs during the game and it’s obvious the third quarter hurt us very much. We tried to come back after that and we had some kind of possibility, but at the end the victory went to the better team for sure."
Victor Arteaga, MoraBanc Andorra
“It was a good second half. We executed our game plan, things went well and we’re very happy with the victory. We have to celebrate this with our fans, it’s an important victory against a very good opponent.”
Alen Smailagic, Partizan NIS Belgrade
"It was a very tough game, very physical and difficult to play. Obviously, the key point was the third quarter where we didn't respond well to their offense. On the other hand, the result itself is showing that our offensive play wasn't fluid enough. We could have won this, it's a pity that we didn't, but the season is long and we have to focus on the next challenges. I hope we will take the best from this game and learn from the mistakes we made."
Aleksa Avramovic, Partizan NIS Belgrade
"It is never good to lose the game, especially when you have the opportunity to score the winning shot. We were not on our best level, we didn't respond well in the third quarter where we allowed them too many easy points. On the other hand, the whole game we struggled on offense, and that's something we will have to work on in order to be better in the games ahead of us."
