Overview

Carles Duran, Joventut Badalona

“The most important thing was a good victory over a very good team. It was a big points difference but I think they are a great team in the group. The worst thing was our defense in the first quarter. After that, we controlled the rebounds and defended better and I think my team played well on offense. This was very important for us because we lost the last game in the EuroCup in Lithuania.”

Vincent Collet, Boulogne Metropolitans 92

“The second quarter we got down too much. We let them pull away. After that it was too difficult. We tried but we were also not good enough shooting. We needed to make some shots to come back but we couldn’t do it. Every time we had a shot to come back and make it -12 or -10 we couldn’t make it. It was too much for us. They were much better than us today.”

"Congratulations to Joventut. They played an excellent game. We probably helped them a little bit because we were not very tough, especially in the first half. Our defense was not good in the second quarter. They got a very good lead at halftime. It was difficult after that to come back, especially on a night like this when we could not make a shot from the outside. We had some open looks but unfortunately, we made only 2 of 16. This made it impossible to get closer in the second half."

Pau Ribas, Joventut Badalona

“It means we’re a good team at home, but we have to improve on the road because we came off a loss. Today we played a great game from the beginning. We showed we are a good team in EuroCup and we deserved the win. In the first quarter, we struggled a little bit defending their point guards. They are so strong and aggressive and our help defense didn’t work. From the second quarter until the end we improved, we adjusted some things and they couldn’t score anymore and we did a good job.”
