As a funny thing, we played four games against Italian teams so far this season and we won four, so maybe if we played the Italian league, we would be the champions, but unfortunately, we are playing the EuroLeague, we lost many games in the last seconds, three or four games in overtime, and now I don’t know if we will play the playoffs. I think nobody would like to play against us in the playoffs, but we have a little chance. That’s life, we’ll see what’s going on in the next two weeks."
"Concretely in that quarter, [the third], we built up a lot of very good shots, very open shots, and we missed them basically all. Our three-point percentages got better in the fourth, but when the game was over. We hit shots too late. But when the game was alive, honestly, we could have done something better in our finishes. Most of the time, we were kicking out the ball and finding open shots and we missed them. And that’s what you need to do against a good defense, hit the shots. Defensively we did our best, we had several negative mismatches and it was difficult to deal with it. At least we tried until the end, we didn’t give up."
"Twenty-four [points] seems nice, but tonight we did a great team effort. First half, second half, we stuck with the plan, we are on a mission. We are trying to win every single game and tonight it just broke out great. I started very good, and my teammates and the coaching staff just saw that, and they just kept up running plays for me."
"[Playing at this level] I think for me, it’s focusing on my routines, my habits every single day, whether I’m playing or not. Got my opportunity, lately, guys were injured, I found my rhythm, and could help the team win, and that’s the most important thing. I think defense has to do with effort, if one guy puts that effort, get all the guys going, so we started from the start, picking up, getting some guys going and then we were able to get the win."
