Banvit Bandirma

"Congratulations to Azovmash for the character they showed, especially in the second half. I am proud of my team being aware of the importance of the game. We have been playing good lately, so in this game too we started really good on the both ends of the court. We struggled a little in the second half, but my players controlled the game pretty well. We will play against each other in a week. It is also going to be very tough game."

KESAR, ALEKSANDAR

Azovmash Mariupol

"First of all, congratulations to Banvit. They deserved to win the game. We could not set up a good defense in the first and second quarters. So Banvit took the advantage of that. Then we could not catch them in the second half, even though we played better than in the first half. We lost 5 three-pointers in last two minutes and they made free throws when we were in the bonus. Banvit is a good organization in sense of investing in young players. They have a good facility here. This is important for European basketball. "
