Dusan Alimpijevic, Frutti Extra Bursaspor
“For the first time in some time, we had a good game and that made me really happy. We played really good defense and we showed who we are and what kind of character we have. Because this is exactly how we played when we were in good shape and played some good games - EuroCup and also domestically. Technically we played an almost perfect 17 minutes and then we lost our concentration in the last 3 minutes of the first half - defensively especially. They had some easy layups and instead of being ahead by 12 or 14, we were only up by 4 at halftime. I told them the game is not 17 minutes or 20 but a whole 40 minutes. We have to stay focused until the last second. Because this team knows how to play basketball. I really want to congratulate them and their coach Jaka for their good season so far. We needed to put in a lot of effort to win against them. Once again, I want to say thank you to our fans. They showed some great support. Even though we had some bad times behind us, they supported us. They were really good for us and in some critical moments we felt that energy from the stands. We felt that energy like it was a sixth player on the court."

Jaka Lakovic, ratiopharm Ulm
“I would like to congratulate Bursaspor for the victory. I thought it was a very physical, well-fought game. Their exterior players decided the game with their talent and quality. About us, we entered the game too soft. We were not ready for the physicality from Bursaspor and when we matched their physicality, I think we had a solid game. But in the end, Bursaspor deserved to win.”
Derek Needham, Frutti Extra Bursaspor
“Good performance. I’m more satisfied with the team’s energy. We’ve been struggling the last few games and to get this win against Ulm, who has been playing really well in EuroCup right now, is huge for us on our home court.”
