Zeljko Obradovic, Partizan NIS Belgrade
“29 points [allowed in the second half] is different than 53 [allowed in the first half]. So we changed the defense and played much better defense, and because of this, we won the game. Almost everywhere we go we have our people [the fans]. Thanks to them, amazing support and good atmosphere. Congratulations to [Metropolitans], they played a very good game.”

Darius Thompson shows his hops! Motorola Magic Moment
Vincent Collet, Boulogne Metropolitans 92
“We missed some shots at the beginning of the second half and then we stopped playing drive and kick. We were a little bit selfish, wanting to go all the way. I think it was because we got tired.”
Kevin Punter, Partizan NIS Belgrade
“We got some stops, that was the key. We weren’t getting stops all game. But it all started with defense. [The fans are] amazing. They travel with us everywhere. Home fans are amazing. The best we can do is just win for them.”
Keith Hornsby, Boulogne Metropolitans 92
“They adjusted some things in the second half. It’s tough to beat a good Partizan team like that. But at the same time, I think we ran out of gas a little bit at the end. We had an eight-man rotation. But no excuses. I’m proud of how we fought the whole game. When we get everybody back healthy we’ll be better, but I’m happy with our effort with the guys who suited up today.”
