Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv head coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos:
“I am proud of my players. I am proud of how they played the game and how they fought for every ball. I think we had an excellent game defensively and offensively. We deserved to win. From the beginning we had control of the game. We kept the rhythm and we played smart in the end and we deserved to win.”
CSKA Moscow head coach Dimitris Itoudis:
“Besides the second quarter that we didn't show up defensively, we were better in the second half. We played a tie in the third quarter. And we won the fourth overall. Overall it was plus 12 for us in the second half. It was late, but at least we showed character and we played the game. We didn't give up. Congratulations, obviously, to Maccabi.”

Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade-Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv | Round 29 Highlights | 2023-24 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague
Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv guard Scottie Wilbekin:
“I think, aside from the last 5 minutes there, we played great defense. Aside from the last 5 minutes and the first 4-5 minutes of the game, we played great defense, individually and team defense, And we hit enough shots to make that work for us.”
Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv guard Keenan Evans:
“We knew that they were going to come out and be aggressive and every team has its runs. So we wanted to minimize their runs and just finish. It's a 40-minute game and we just had to finish it with a complete game.”
