Budivelnik Kiev

"Everybody played as the opponent allowed. Today there were moments when we focused on the game in the paint, and it was right decision for us. As we expected, it was a hard game. Olimpija played the basketball we prepared for, but unfortunately, we did not do all that was prepared. Olimpija made so many three-point attempt, especially when Salin was on the floor; they were constantly looking for him, and he was trying to score. Plus, they had a very quick transition from defense to offense. In some moments we quickly came back and when we did not, they punished us. We made so many turnovers, it’s very bad and strange for such a confident victory like this. Unfortunately, we were relaxed in the end of the game, looked for easy ways and in a couple of situations made wrong decisions and simply threw the ball out. I think the final score could have been better for us, if we had not made those mistakes in the end. "

"My congratulations to the coach of Budivelnik. Unfortunately, I can’t be satisfied with our game tonight, especially in defense. We allowed too many free shots and lost our rebounds; we can’t beat such a good team like Budivelnik like that. At moments we were close, but every time we missed our concentration, it was crucial and a reason for the defeat. Budivelnik deserves this victory. Yes, we lost two games in this group, but anyway, we still have four games to fight for our chance in the next round. "
