### Germani Brescia head coach Alessandro Magro:

“It was a tough game for us. I think we struggled a lot in the beginning, especially in the first half, allowing a lot of weird situations. They were good at attacking our defense and that’s why we decided to change in the second half and go to a switching defense, and I think that choice paid off. Then we were able to build good shots and even but our percentages didn’t support us, and that’s we were on the chase for most part of the game. We were able anyway to keep fighting, keep believing, and somehow, we arrived at overtime and I think we were really more boosted than them.  I’m sorry if I spend a few seconds more, but I would like to dedicate this game to my mom, who is fighting a very tough fight, much more than basketball so don’t give up mom.”

### ratiopharm Ulm head coach Anton Gavel:

“First of all, I want to congratulate Alessandro and his team for the win. I think we presented ourselves in the last games always better, but we allowed 21 offensive rebounds and that gave them so many second chances. Defensively we collapsed a couple of times, we were miscommunicated, and allowed easy buckets for the Brescia team. Offensively we couldn’t find always the right decisions against the switch. It caused definitely that we urged three-point shooting; we were looking for a solution in three-point shooting, and we could have found definitely other different solutions. It is a tough loss, we have another game in three days. We have to recover from this and keep fighting and believing. I wish all the best to Alessandro’s mom. There are more important things than basketball.”

### Germani Brescia guard Troy Caupain:

"We knew it was going to be tough, it was a road game. We had a long ride here and we needed to show what we have. This is another step in our journey. Ulm played well, they got their shots, they played physical, but we pulled it out, stayed together and got the win down the stretch. We got another opportunity, we forced overtime, and stayed together, fighting through, coming up with loose balls down the stretch on the defensive end.”

### Joventut Badalona head coach Carles Duran: 

"Congratulations to the team. I think they worked very well. I think the key was the second and third quarters because the team defended very well, in all situations. For example, they defended Yogi Ferrell and Josh Adams well in the pick-and-roll. And also we played well on offense - not just with dribbling but we moved the ball and tried to play not only the three-point line but also combine with the low post. I am happy because when you play on the road it’s difficult to play."

### Cedvita Olimpija Ljubljana head coach Jurica Golemac: 

"Congratulations to Joventut, they deserved to win the game.  We are not good enough at the moment to try to play against Joventut. They were much faster, much more physical. The ball moved better. We are just at this moment too slow and too soft for this kind of basketball."

Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana v Joventut Badalona (2022-10-26T17:30:00.000Z)

### Frederic Fauthoux, Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse head coach

"Lietkabelis is a tough team. In the second half, we played very well but we missed open shots. If we had scored, it would have been easier. But I am very happy we won this game... The last quarter we played with great intensity. Beginning of the game we let them play too easy with a great passing game. Afterward, we became tougher and it was better."

### Nenad Canak, 7Bet-Lietkabelis Paneveyzs head coach:

"We stopped playing defense the last quarter. We could not stop Floy one-on-one. Too many times they scored two-plus-one. It also talks about our intensity on defense in those moments. If you want to win the game away, you must play defense for 40 minutes. Today, in the last quarter, it was terrible. From that, we lost control of our offense. We lost the game. In the first three quarters, we had good moments, but also had mistakes. We have to analyze that and get better and stronger."

### Jordan Floyd, Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse guard:

"Lietkabelis is a tough team and we knew they will come out here and play hard. But we knew if we locked in on the defensive end, we would come out with a victory. I just know that at the end of the day, my teammates will come to me when it matters. I had to make sure I stay consistent and perform for them."

### Turk Telekom Ankara head coach Erdem Can:

"We fought till the end. We really started flat at the beginning of the game which was not our strategy. And then we woke up and after waking up we played our basketball. I’m really happy with our guys’ fight till the end. Again, another day to improve to get better. It’s a long, long way to go, so it’s just one win."

### Hapoel Tel Aviv head coach Danny Franco:

"First of all, our defensive intensity \[was missing\]. The first half was real bad from our side. We didn’t contain the basketball, we allowed a lot of easy baskets. In the second half when we picked up our defense eventually, we just didn’t execute in our rhythm on offense. This one’s on us. Credit to Turk Telekom which played extremely well tonight. We’ll take a lot from this game to get better for the future."

### Turk Telekom Ankara guard Jerian Grant:

"Total team effort. Everybody did their job and helped us come out with a win. I think I helped run the team, getting everybody in the spots they needed to be and I think everybody helped us win."
