Dejan Radonjic, Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade
"First of all, congratulations to the players for the good game and the win. As I said before the game, it was important for this game to play differently than the last one against UNICS, and we did it. From the beginning, our defense was good, for 40 minutes. The second half, especially in the beginning, we gave up so many turnovers, but we played good defensively and I think we deserved the win."

Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade-Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv | RS Round 17 Highlights | 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague
Xavi Pascual, Zenit St Petersburg
"They played more aggressive than us in all the situations, defensively and offensively. They put us completely out of the game, so we have to congratulate them, they were much better than us. When we were behind in the score, we didn't find the way to play, we made a lot of turnovers, all the team was very nervous."
Nate Wolters, Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade
"[It was] a big one for us. We had a bad streak and a bad game at home last week, so we really needed it on the road. They are a very good team, so it's a big one for us. We limited them to 58 points. If we want to win, in most games we must do that, playing defense. We made it a little bit difficult for them. [I enjoy] anything that helps the team, we really needed this one, having played bad in the last couple weeks. So we took this one in the road and I hope we can build up from this, come back home and play better."
Maik Zirbes, Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade
"[Winning tonight] was so important for us. We didn't play the last games as we wanted to do, but today – and especially on defense – we wanted to show that we are the team everybody knows. The first half was really nice. In the second half, we had a lot more turnovers than we had in the first one. In the end, we managed to play our defense against them."
