Here are some opinions from the game protagonists themselves.
Post-game quotes: Lietkabelis Panevezys vs. Dolomiti Energia Trento



Nenad Canak, head coach, Lietkabelis Panevezys:
“Before the game we knew what kind of problems we had. And the only chance we had was with defense. We played good defense. We gave maximum effort and energy. When some players adapted to not playing their natural position we caught some rhythm on offense and we made some shots. Defense was key today... Today we played without four players from our frontline, but other guys compensated and played for them, and we proved once again that we are a team.”
Gediminas Orelik, guard, Lietkabelis Panevezys:
“The key was defense. They scored 57 points. If we can keep all games at 57 points on defense that would be perfect. Everybody fought today. If we could not make the threes, we went to fight under the basket or tried some mid-range shots. We can do both.”

Emanuele Molin, head coach, Dolomiti Energia Trento:
“Lietkabelis played better and moved the ball better than us all game long - something we were not able to stop. In the meantime, my team was missing its two main point guards to run the offense. We had a good moment in the second quarter and we tried to make an effort between the third and fourth quarter, but it was not enough. That is because they played better and we are having a tough time. We just have to look forward.”
