“I’m happy that the game turned to be this way. It was probably the first time this season when we have showed our potential at 80 percent of our real level. The game was tough because it’s always hard to play the same team twice in a row. My guys did their best; they gave great energy and desire on the court. We say that basketball is a game for pleasure, so today it was really jolly for us to play and I’m sure the fans liked the match. We rebounded well and allowed our opponent to take only 4 offensive boards. Also I’d like to point out our triples as we have many good shooters. So we dominated today, but the result doesn’t say anything about PAOK’s level. They are a very disciplined team with the same coach for many seasons. I thought that PAOK would be the second team to enter the playoffs from our group.”

“Congratulations to our opponent on this win. We knew that last week we didn’t play well enough at our arena. We also knew that this game would be really tough. After first ten minutes it was a tough game because our opponent made everything from outside and inside. It was really difficult to stop them on defense and every minute until the end of the game the difference between the teams was obvious on the floor. We can say that the main reason is three-point shooting. Last week they didn’t make so many shots and we made some. But tonight we didn’t make shots and they made almost everything.”
