"We played a bad game. We played with too many ups and downs in the most important parts of the game. We allowed them to get close and at the end to win the game in clutch moments. Our defense was not a problem today, but I am not satisfied with our offense. We missed Vladovic, who is injured. Gailius is having a strech of bad games and Brodnik is not able to replace him. We also did not perform at our best when it comes to rebounding, except for Alex Stepheson. Rebounding is also part desire and reaction. I congratulate Hapoel on a well-deserved victory. "

"This was a game between two teams who are playing on a top level. The difference is very little. Sometimes you need the ball to go through the net, to grab it at the right moment, then you win and you are happy for a while. If not, you lose the game and then you are uspet. The difference is very little as I said. If Duncan wouldn't have scored that three-pointer to get us back in the game, we would have lost the game. Then Kitchen stepped up and scored the winning bucket. Both team were facing foul trouble because we really played hard today. Olimpija played without an important point guard. There is a fine line between winning and losing. Sometimes you also need luck and of course your best players to step up and make good plays. In our case, we did that. They had an open three to force overtime, but luckily they missed it. "
