FC Bayern Munich
"It was a tough and close game. It is good for us to play a game like this and finish it this way. Those games are not sometimes good to watch, but they are certainly exciting for everybody, but the coaches. We lose years and years of hair with this type of game, but it is part of our job. Unicaja is currently in good competition shape, they beat Barcelona in overtime over the weekend in the Spanish League, and had several consecutive wins before that, and they found their mechanism, automatism, and I was very concerned about this game. We were missing little bit of energy due to some fever issues with some of our players, so this was a tough game energy-wise for us. We had 10 turnovers in the first half, and we should have closed the game at the end of third quarter when we were up by 10. But we missed a layup, a tap-in, and after that they had a 1-17 run. We managed to come back somehow with a very good defensive effort, and a belief, which I liked. But we have to be more precise. Offensively I would like to see players play with confidence, and shoot when they are open. It is an important win for us, and I repeat it is important to win tough games like this."
