The hosts, fueled by Smith and Luka Babic, increased the margin to 19-13.

Cedevita Zagreb

"We didn't play with enough energy. When we score 83 points we should win by 15 points. My team led by 14 points, but we blew the lead. We made some stupid mistakes and in some situations my players were not patient enough. I am not angry at Nolan Smith regarding his last play, but I think he waited too long to start the play. Selby was trying really hard today, but he didn't have enough time to adjust to our team."

PETROVIC, ALEKSANDAR

Lietuvos Rytas Vilnius

"This is a very important win for us. We won this game with defense. Cedevita had a chance to secure the win, but they made some mistakes when they had a big lead. After changing our defense on Cedevita's centers, Jusuf Nurkic and Miro Bilan, we changed the momentum of the game and that was crucial for our win. The game was decided by just one ball and I am happy we managed to get a win. We couldn't do anything on offense against Cedevita's centers, but Gecevicius, Seibutis, Dowdell and Cook are all great ballhandlers and that helped us a lot."
