Avi Evan, assistant coach, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv
"I think we kept consistency on defense, and we just kept playing our tempo, our game. The guys had a great effort defensively in the second half, and we shared the ball in a beautiful way. We scored some, and I am happy it went in. These guys worked hard the whole week, and before with Coach Giannis, and I came here to help these guys to put on the floor whatever they can, to enjoy and to win this game."

Dunston with a one-handed slam! Motorola Magic Moment
Jure Zdovc, head coach, Zalgiris Kaunas
"They really scored some unbelievable shots. We missed open shots; this was maybe the crucial moment in the third quarter. We started good, we found open shots, our best shooters, but we missed a lot of open shots, and they scored a lot of shots against our defense. Still, we could do a little better job, for sure. We let them get in the rhythm and everybody started scoring from everywhere. I am disappointed because some players were too offensive-oriented in this game. We cannot win without good defense. We know this."
James Nunnally, forward, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv
"We got more disciplined and in the second half, and focused on the defensive end, being in the right spots. And offensively, my teammates were looking for me, finding me, setting good screens, making great passes, and I just knocked down shots. I just play the game, and if I am open shoot it. I try to make the right play. My teammates found me in the right positions, so thanks to them."
