"I think Partizan scored around 30 points in the second half, something around that, while in the first half it was 44 or something like this. I thought our physicality went up. I thought we responded to their runs very well. The crowd was out of it, which here is one of the most important things. And yes, it is a very good win. This atmosphere is magical, there is no other way to put it, possibly the best atmosphere in the world. It is incredible, 20,000 people with this... what they have going here is something special."
"As far as the game goes, I think we have to be very happy with how we played. I think we played very good basketball in the first half but we were not playing hard enough. We were not matching Partizan's intensity and a couple of loose balls and some situations in which we didn't simply pick up the ball, we were steps slower, cost us 8 or 9 points, which is a lot. I thought that in the second half, we managed to play a lot harder. I thought our defense was much better, we came out with very good physicality in the third quarter and started to take a little bit control of the game. Then I thought we responded to every run that Partizan made very good, with some very crucial shots."
"[We played] under an incredible atmosphere, one more time, Barca played a great game, congratulations to them but also, I want to congratulate my players because I believe that we tried to do everything. Today, it was not possible, so we turn the page and start to think about the next game."
"It was a tough game, an emotional game here in Belgrade, as always with those fans. It was a huge win. Especially, we played amazing basketball in the second half. It is a big win for us. It was a good test for us, because we were playing good basketball and now on the road, it was an important game for us to win because there are now three games left. Always [like to play in Belgrade], it is a big pleasure. I love the people, this country, as everybody knows. I am very happy that both teams are here, playing, Partizan and Zvezda, and I am wishing both of them to be in the EuroLeague for many years because European basketball needs these clubs."
"After a win, we always feel good. It is always a challenge when we play two games in the same week, and I think to start the week like this, in this atmosphere, with this kind of win, for us is very important. I think to come here and see the people, the crowd and play [was the biggest challenge]. I think these are some of the best fans in the league and we prepared to play against them and against Partizan, and I think we made a good job."
