Burak Goren, Turk Telekom Ankara
"It is our third win on our home court. I am proud of my players. Beginning to the end, my players did everything on the court, on the offensive and defensive side. It is a huge win for us. Thanks to all our fans in Ankara. They supported us very well in previous years and they started supporting us again. It was an amazing atmosphere and we are very strong with them. Congratulation to Loko. They have an unbelievable roster and a deep roster. They did not have a loss in the group stage before this game. We are very very happy for this win."

Evgeny Pashutin, Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar
"It was a tough game. We expected this kind of game, with physical contact. This is the first time we face this kind of physicality... We prepared for this. And we told the guys, but in the first quarter, we were not able to answer the physical contact. If someone punches you, you have to punch back. We did this in the third and fourth quarter and we matched up with toughness and physicality and mentality. In the first quarter, we were not able to stop Harrison and their shooters. We made a much better adjustment in the third and fourth quarters. The good thing is we won the rebounding, we took 45 rebounds, this is our record for the season, but we did not manage to finish under the basket because the level of contact was so high. We have to learn from this game, and we have to be ready for teams like Turk Telekom or Partizan, teams that are physically strong. We have to be ready for this high-level of physical contact and able to find a way to follow our plan. In the third and fourth quarters offensively we found space, we were more calm. We started to share the ball much better. We were down 15, we found a way to come back and tie the game. In the clutch time, the game was decided with one shot. The team showed character today. It is a good lesson for us. A lot of things to learn from this game, to analyze our weaknesses and as much as possible cover our weaknesses moving forward."
Aaron Harrison, Turk Telekom Ankara
"It was fun. We lost a few close games this year, and it is just exciting for us to get a win against a great team like that. We all came out and fought really hard, and stepped up to the challenge. So it was a good win. We played great as a team offensively. We shared the ball, the bigs rebounded and finished great. I think everybody played great, we fought hard, and this is a team that we could beat."
