Simon Birgander, Joventut: 'Everybody is trying to help each other'

Carles Duran, Joventut Badalona head coach
"In the last quarter, the most important quarter in the game, we gave up many points. But, in the last three minutes, the team played better on offense and defense. It's a good victory, but we'll try to improve, because if not it's very difficult to win in this EuroCup when you play so-so. Now, we're thinking about the next [game]. But it's very important that if you don't defend good in the last quarter, probably in the future it's possible you'll lose. Now I'm thinking about the victory and the positive.
"Good victory. Difficult game for us today, but in the last five minutes, the team played serious on offense and defense."
Jurica Golemac, Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana head coach
"Congratulations to Joventut on the win. We were short on the rotation, [and there's] some other things I don't want to talk about.
"All the season, we are missing four players. This is from the beginning of the season. We are all the time with a 10-man roster, and it's very hard to play in the two competitions [EuroCup and Adriatic League]. You are using your energy. The Adriatic League is a little bit less quality competition, so we can get some wins. Here in the EuroCup, you need to be 100% with a big rotation in order to win."
Simon Birgander, Joventut Badalona forward
"I think we played better defense at the end of the game. Our defense wasn’t the best in this game, but in the end we really closed down the paint, didn't let them score easy buckets, and that helped us win the game. We are trying to be as close as we can with a lot of injuries. Everybody is trying to help each other. Even people who don't play try to cheer us on, and it's a big win for the team."
