This is what the protagonists had to say after the Round 15 showdown between Partizan NIS Belgrade and Boulogne Metropolitans 92.
Post-game quotes: Partizan vs. Metropolitans



Zeljko Obradovic, Partizan NIS Belgrade head coach:
"We knew this game will be for second position in the Group. Even though we have two more games, this is probably our last home game due to the problems of the Russian clubs. It was a good game in general. We played very good defense in half-court, our only problem was the opponent's transition game. They are a team that really tries to run. We tried to prepare ourselves for that, but we allowed a lot of easy, cheap points in the transition game. I think that is a big problem and this is something we work on in practices. There are ways to stop that. But we played pretty aggressive and pretty smart on offense until the final 5 minutes. We have to be smarter and play more simple. There were nice things, and we had a lot of open shots, which is what we strive for. I want to thank the fans."
Vincent Collet, Boulogne Metropolitans 92 head coach:
"Congratulations to Partizan for the win. I think we started the game the right way, unfortunately in the second quarter, we went down during a few minutes when we gave them the lead and confidence. We could not start better in the third quarter, their defense was very tough. We had problems to find open shots. After that, we kept fighting but the game was done."

Balsa Koprivica, Partizan NIS Belgrade center:
"A very important victory for us for placement in the EuroCup. We had a tough game last week and during the season we were not able to have a rhythm and have two or three games to be able to win, so this is a big win against a good team and we are just looking forward to the next game. I try to focus every game to get as many rebounds as I can, be active on the glass. Get blocked shots and be a good defender, and everything else comes with that. I got to keep working. It's good to have a [game like this], but ultimately, it's a long season and we got many more games to go."
