JASIKEVICIUS, SARUNAS
Zalgiris Kaunas
"I think we played very solid. I think we struggled at moments against their pressure but, in general, I think we risked what we wanted to risk; sometimes we get lucky, sometimes we don't. We were the most aggressive team tonight. Playing against such an athletic team, it is most important to handle the pressure. Our guards were having problems [early in the game], but this is Efes's quality; they are athletic, long and disturb you a lot. It is very important to prepare everything well and most of the game, we were doing it. I think that the key was rebounding and the fast break points. I think we avoided a lot of easy points, which is always the key in basketball. I believe this is one of those games that we have to forget very quickly and immediately be ready. We are going home, where we get great support from our fans. I am hoping there will be a full gym. We play against one of the teams that will battle for the eighth spot, Unics Kazan, in the future. It is one of the most important games of the season for us."
