This is what the protagonists had to say after the Round 15 showdown between Valencia Basket and Umana Reyer Venice.
Post-game quotes: Valencia vs. Reyer



Valencia Basket head coach Joan Peñarroya
"It's an important win because it was a difficult game for us, our third game in the last five days, with a lot of players out: Nenad [Dimitrijevic], Victor [Claver], Xabi [Lopez-Arostegui] had ankle problems in the last game. So it was a difficult game for us, but I think that in the last quarter and the important final minutes, the character was perfect. We didn't play very well in the game, but I think in the last minutes we played with character and with our heads. Bojan [Dubljevic] played a good game. He's our captain, and today he played like the big player in Europe that he is."
Umana Reyer Venice head coach Walter De Raffaele
The game changed in our last two possessions. We played a solid game. We had a chance to go ahead, but honestly they punished us. They have a talented team with great players like [Bojan] Dubjlevic, and that's it. We played a very good game, we are proud but the win is for Valencia."

"For us, it was a really important game because we are fighting for first place. Every game is really important for us now. Of course, we have a really tough schedule. This was our third game in five days, but I'm really happy for the victory. I am just warming up for the playoffs."
