Frutti Extra Bursaspor head coach Dusan Alimpijevic:
"Very first, let's say the most important thing: amazing atmosphere! Our fans made it, and again let's say that it is a real joy to be coaching Bursaspor in front of these fans, to coach these players. I really enjoy it. Once again, thanks to our fans. Second, it was obvious that [Reyer] were a little bit tired after playing against Valencia. But on the other hand, we also have a smaller rotation, so let's say we had equal energy in this game. Again, it was amazing that my players found energy to play like this. So nothing is over. We are just in the good way, but nothing is over. We want to continue like this, and that is why I am calling our fans to come out again. Because we cannot play like this without them, with that energy that they are giving us from the tribune. Again, every game is important for us. Every game is like a playoff game for us. We have our goals and want to go in that direction."
Umana Reyer Venice head coach Walter De Raffaele:
"First of all, congratulations to Bursaspor. They deserved to win this game. Honestly, at the end of the game, the first thing that showed up is a totally different level of energy coming out of the third and fourth quarters. Until we had energy, we competed and it was a really close game. But with two games in 48 hours on the road, it was impossible to reproduce the same energy in the end of third and fourth quarters. Anyway, we need to keep going and focus on the next one."

Frutti Extra Bursaspor forward Onuralp Bitim:
"First of all, I am very happy because this win was very important for us to get in the first eight [playoffs]. I am also very happy because my team trusted me and I trust them. I am playing well and the team is playing well... I don't know what to say, I am really happy right now! I am tired and have too many feelings! But it was a team success and I want to thank everybody in the stadium: our fans, our coaches and my teammates."
