Giorgos Bartzokas says

«It was really a very difficult and important thing for us. Baskonia has a great team. We knew that from watching her previous three games, but we realized that today, especially the way she played in the second quarter and the way she shot in the third.

The way they played was very difficult for us to get back into the game. It took a lot of effort to manage and control our emotions. We tried to lower the tempo a bit because Baskonia took it to a very high level during the match. Finally, Costas Slukas made good decisions at the end of the match, scoring the ball and passing the ball to the free players. Of course, Sasha Veznikov was decisive, especially in the third period.

Walkup’s second-half defense and offensive rebounding by Fall, who collected five offensive rebounds, two of them late in the game, played a big role. We were on point with the free throws at the end, and we got the win, a very important win. This was our third win in Spain since the start of the Euroleague this year, and I must give credit to my players for their fantastic efforts.».
