"We changed [our] attitude [in the second half]. We got really aggressive on defense, it started with local players Lukashov and Lypovyy, and continued with the foreigners. Attitude, that's it. Balvin and Kennedy asked for a replacement, they were tired. They played great today.
"These were the best scoring teams in the EuroCup, and the team that would start playing defense would win this game. And we started playing defense in the second half."
"I spoke the guys at halftime, if we play with the same intensity in the second half, we have no chance to win. We did the same and they played with a much higher intensity. For us it is just embarrassing to lose the last two quarters with a 29-point margin. Congrats to Prometey for the win. For us, we just need to be better. we cannot present any type of game like we did in the second half.
"We need to look good at ourselves and we need to play with more pride, for sure. We still have huge expectations from this competition. It is just one game, but the way we lost should it put us in a position to think about at a lot of things."
"I am finally trying to understand my teammates and getting along with them. It's a really new team. Also I came from Japan where it is completely different basketball. I think me and my teammates are just getting to know each other and they are able to find me and I am able to provide for them. You win the game with defense, and that's what happened in the second half. We can score 105 points and we can still lose. That can happen. But in the second half, we played defense together as a team, and that was key for our victory."
