Rodriguez: 'Great for Real to get back on track'
Chus Mateo, Real Madrid head coach
"We played good. I think we did not play bad. We played with intensity during three of the four quarters. In the second quarter, we lost intensity and hesitated a little bit. It was good to see how the team can pass to each other, finding open shots. And it was good to see that they could only score easy in one quarter; in the other three quarters we were able to play a good defense."
Dzanan Musa, Real Madrid player
"It feels amazing, especially [given] how we lost the game against Olympiacos. It was really important to get a win at home, in front of our fans. I hope we can continue like this in future games because we have a lot of talent. We finally started to work together, and I hope we will continue like this."
Sergio Rodriguez, Real Madrid player
"It was great to get back on track. We lost the last two games in the EuroLeague, so we knew we needed this game. We approached it the right way from the beginning and got the win. We have to keep building on ourselves. It is the beginning of the season. We know it is a long way ahead. We are working well. Sometimes things are going well, other times we know it is early in the season, but are on the right way."

"Definitely, it is a hard period that is behind us, but it is just the beginning of the season. There are 55 games in front of us, so [there's] no reason to suffer too much. We had a tough schedule the first four rounds. About this game, we started soft [in] the first quarter and that was the key, I think. We had a chance to come back in the game and, unfortunately, we did not. I am sorry about my players, they did not deserve to lose by 16 points. We need to keep focus on the small details. I am always proud of them."
