"It wasn't a good quality game today, maybe because of the stress of the game's importance. In the end, we had a huge advantage: 10 points. I don't know how we survived. We had a terrible end of the game. Thank God and our free throws, we won this game. I still hard to believe that we won this game, but we are happy and we go ahead [to the playoffs]. We take experience [from this game] – it was like a playoff game and I hope we will be much better in the next game. Barca is a great team with a great coach. For us, it is much easier because we are the underdogs. We will try to beat them."
"We fought. We wanted to win. We missed open shots. Congratulations to Zalgiris, they made the playoffs. We made it for two years – it's their turn, they deserve it. Great season."
"It was a very difficult game. We didn't play well in the first half, but we stepped up defensively in the second half. I had to step up and, thank God, everything went correctly. I want to thank our amazing fans, also. They gave us a boost, for sure. We felt like we were playing at home, [so a] big 'thank you' to them. He said [Coach Maksvytis, at halftime] that we are not playing 100%. It seemed like we forgot that we were playing for the playoffs. He reminded us how important this game was, and we did a good job in the second half."
"This is something crazy – I don't have the words! I am so happy about my team, above all the fans that came. It was crazy. It looked like we were in Kaunas today! I don't have the words. We knew it would be a hard game and we knew this was our last chance. We needed to win this game and everybody knew it. It will be, for sure, very, very tough games [playoffs vs. Barca], but we will be prepared, and we will be ready to play against them."
