MZT Skopje Aerodrom

"I want to congratulate my players, not only for the win, but for getting through the pressure. At halftime we spent more time getting back the self confidence of the players Maybe the final score and the 9-oint margin is not so real, but we controlled the score in second half and i think we deserved to win."

VARRAK, ALAR

Kalev Cramo Tallinn

"I have to repeat myself , unfortunately . We played a really good game, we won the offensive boards. The game was close all the time, but they made a run at the start of the third quarter , which was because we made too many mistakes."

SINOVEC, STEFAN

MZT Skopje Aerodrom

"This is the first win for our team in the Eurocup . I must say it wasn't an easy match. In the first half we were under pressure, we made a lot of mistakes, but in the second half we camewith more energy and we showed our real face. I hope we will continue to play like that in the upcoming games."
