This is what the protagonists of the game had to say after such a close deal down the stretch.
Post-Game Quotes: Gran Canaria 78-49 Bourg



Porfi Fisac, Gran Canaria
"We started the game really well with a lot of energy and along the game, we played with a great effort in our defense, in our pick-and-roll defense in particular. I didn't expect a game like this. They missed a lot of situations with good shots and it was not a logical, regular game. We were solid on our pick-and-roll defense but it is true that they missed a lot, especially in the first quarter. They always trailed after that, but what is important for me is that even when it looked like as we slowed down at some point due to our adjusted rotation, we kept playing physical all game long. It is early in the season and the EuroCup is very different this season, with a longer regular season. A lot of things will happen, but for us, it was an important win. Due to our injuries, some players had to step up and they did it."

"I will not talk long about this game. We were a disappointment. We didn't play like a team. It is my responsibility. I don't understand why, I don't understand tonight, because in the last two games, I was thinking we were in a really good way. Our spirit, I think, was there but tonight, we just didn't play. We were scared, without energy, without anything. In this condition, it is the wrong game for my team and for me. We only scored 3 free throws in the first quarter. I called my first timeout after 3 minutes with 10-0 and thought we would react, but we didn't react. Nobody gave more energy or more aggressiveness. We had 2-3 situations to score easy buckets in fastbreak or transition offense, but we even missed layups. And when you miss layups and free throws and you score your first bucket after 12 minutes... I think it is the first time in my career that I see that. I don't understand, really."

"Just bringing the energy [was the key]. We knew we didn't have three big players for us, but we knew we had to stay together, bring the energy from the get-go and then even in the second half, we had to make sure that we kept our energy high."
