Darius Thompson, Baskonia: 'Every win is huge'

Joan Penarroya, Cazoo Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz head coach
"I am happy for a very important win for us. ALBA played a good game, we had a lot of problems to achieve this victory... After we took a 25-15 lead, we collapsed at both ends of the court. ALBA was able to score a lot of easy baskets as we lost control of the game. We talked things over at halftime and agreed that we needed to improve our defense. The game was close until the end. We’ll enjoy the victory tonight and tomorrow we go back to work.”
Israel Gonzalez, ALBA Berlin head coach
"We played a good game against a very good team and I am happy with my team’s performance. We played with a high spirit and this is very important for us. Congratulations to Baskonia, they did a great job and Thompson was very good in the last quarter. He probably decided the game."

"Every win in the EuroLeague is huge. We played with energy in the second half. The last few games we weren’t our normal selves and we hadn’t been having fun so the key was to enjoy the game and play hard."
