ratiopharm Ulm head coach Anton Gavel:
"We are happy. First of all, congratulations to our players. We are happy that we could win here and also take the head-to-head comparison. I think that in the second half, we stepped up defensively, had a couple of deflections, destroyed a couple of their plays. And offensively, we were hitting shots. We were moving the ball a little bit better and tried to play a little faster. Everybody contributed, and everybody had a plus in the plus-minus section, so we are happy about it.
"Congratulations to our players. We are extremely happy that we got this W here and also the head-to-head comparison. In the first half, we started kind of sloppy defensively and were not able to create any stops. In the second half, we got better. I think we were more aggressive trying to get through the screens and destroyed a couple of plays with deflections. And also, we found the way to move the ball and create shots for our shooters, and we were knocking them down. You need to hit shots if you want to be able to win an away game. So yes, we are extremely happy about this win. We have to continue and get ready for our domestic league."
