Gran Canaria head coach Jaka Lakovic:
"AJ Slaughter was good for us today. We made the shots when we needed to make them. But I thought we were not strong enough defensively. We were playing in the second half who will score more points and I don't think this is the objective of the game for us. I go home happy to win, but we have to do better. I am happy because, honestly, I was pretty worried because the game Paris plays is totally different than what we are used to seeing in games in Europe. A lot of one-on-one, a lot of individual quality, so we had to change the mindset and defend one-on-one. At some point, we did that good, but there were parts of the game we did not do the job well. Before the next game, we have FIBA windows, but we want to go game by game. The EuroCup regular season is important, but not crucial because the playoffs are a do-or-die. You have to get there in great shape for the eighthfinals."
