Post-Game Quotes: Partizan 102-77 Hamburg



Zeljko Obradovic, Partizan NIS Belgrade
“Before the game, we talked that they are a very dangerous team. They have their own way to play basketball. It was exactly like that tonight. They shot a lot of three-point shots - 39; offensive rebounds were 22; but it’s true that we played a very good game. We controlled the game and I need to congratulate my players for really a very good performance. I also want to congratulate [Hamburg]. Even though they were down 30 points, they tried to fight until the end. This means it’s a team that has character. And they played how they played the last games in the German League and EuroCup.”

“Congratulations to Partizan for a well-deserved win. It was an extremely good performance from them. To my players, to my team, to my organization: learn from this experience because it was really nice to see an opponent like Partizan play basketball like that.”
Mathias Lessort, Partizan NIS Belgrade
“It was a big victory, very important. It was important to step up our game after let’s say not such a good game against Podgorica. We made up for it and had a very serious game. We could have done better, especially on offensive rebounds. But I think all together it was a good team game. I feel great. The fans gave us a lot of energy from the jump. This atmosphere is great here when the gym is rocking like that. It’s easier for us to run, to jump, to play with energy. You could see that everybody had energy tonight.”
