"Of course, we won the game, I am happy for the effort, the wish, the focus. We are still in the [playoffs] race and I think we are in a good situation. We will try to reach this. It is a double-week and we needed to find the energy, find the fresh players. And before the game, we thought that Karolis Lukosiunas could be that player. We gave him a chance and he used his chance: bravo! I am happy for this week: good energy, good team work and a good effort. If we play like this, it is hard to stop us. We just need to be like this."
"We arrived to our limit physically and they broke the game in the second quarter, with a 16-3 run. And finally, we fought until the end and when we tried, they scored 3 threes in the last second and broke the game until the end."
"First of all, we were very motivated before the game. We knew this was like a final for us, a very important game. We stuck to our game plan and hit some lucky shots. Karolis [Lukosiunas] stepped up, so that was the key. We need to take a rest; it was a difficult week for us. For sure, we know Maccabi [Round 33 opponent] and how they are playing, they are the hottest team right now. We need to take a rest and start to prepare for the game."
"I think it was team effort, first of all. Everybody put their hearts in it; we were full of energy today. Everybody sacrificed their body, starting from defense, and I think defense was the key. We know that we need those wins and we have nothing to lose. That is the only way for us, to keep fighting and put all the energy we have, and that's it. There is no question about that. We need to start every game from defense and set the tone from there. Then we have easier points on offense, then we can run and share the ball but yes, everything starts from defense for us. I felt pretty good and enjoyed to play today a lot. This energy from the crowd gave me some confidence. It was really a game to remember."
