"I think it was very good start for us against a very experienced team. Congratulations to all of our players. Today was also a good lesson for us. We knew that Budivelnik has quality and offensive skills to come back even with the big difference. We couldn’t play good defense in the fourth quarter. We allowed such easy points. This will be a lesson for us to react better in the fourth quarter. But for sure our team was good for more than 30 minutes and we showed some energy most of the game. And I congratulate all the fans that were here and supporting us, but we were expect to see a full gym. This team and this organization deserve all of Bandırma to applaud them. And I know it is impossible to do something good without our fans. "

BAGATSKIS, AINARS

Budivelnik Kiev

"First of all, congratulations to Banvit on the win. We knew how tough it is to win here before we came. They have a nice gym, nice fans and pressure from all sides. You must to be mentally strong to be in the game here. Today, in the beginning of the game, Banvit played as we expected. Banvit’s players are at a very high level individually. Some of our players were not ready to play one-on-one defense and also Banvit played incredible offense. And you have no chance to win If you are weak in defense. In the second half the game continued exactly the same and Banvit was up by 20 in the third quarter. The fourth quarter we found energy and strong emotions to came back. And a couple of good actions on defense and offense, we managed to come back. But unfortunately in the end of the game Banvit had luck to win the game."
