Head Coaches

WINNICKI, JACEK
PGE Turow
"I would like to congratulate my team and the players. It was a very good game. As you can see we still count for the fight to the Last 16. Alba is a very strong team, especially in offense and this win is very important for us."
HERBERT, GORDON
Alba Berlin
"It was a very good game. Congratulations for PGE Turow Zgorzelec. We played hard in defense and offense for the first half but then we started to commit stupid mistakes and Turow used it for its adventage. We lost the focus of the game and Turow started to make up for its loss."

Players

JACKSON, DAVID
PGE Turow
"For the moment I am very happy that we won the game. We won because we believed in us, our team. We stayed together even when it was hard for us, even when we were eighteen points behind we still strongly believed we could have made it. Wow. What a game. Two overtimes against a very strong team of Alba but we still made it to win. We believed in our coach and he believed in us. We won and this is what makes me very happy."
FRANCIS, TORIN
Alba Berlin
"Congratulations to Turow. It was a hard game, it lasted fifty minutes, two overtimes, that makes any game hard. We also came from Berlin, spent some time on the road and maybe that is also why we lost."
