Gran Canaria head coach Jaka Lakovic:
"I want to congratulate my players on the win. The game had two halves. In the first, we started very good, with very good defense, good rhythm. We found open shots and we made them. But I thought we pushed our breaks a little bit near the end of the first half and Hapoel punished us with individual quality, in one-on-one situations and we went into locker room only 7 points up. The second half was different. We got anxious, had doubts, and Hapoel used it to their advantage, got confident, started making shots. We did not execute on offense we were down, on our way to lose the game. But the players found a way to play defense again, and with a great shot from A.J. Slaughter, we won the game. We know A.J. can do that. He wanted the ball. It was a lucky win, but we will take it."
