Head Coaches

SCEPANOVIC, VLADO

Partizan NIS Belgrade

"Not too much to say. Congratulations to Bourg, they showed they deserved this game more than us. There is no explanation for this kind of game. I don't know what to say, just congratulations. A lot of things are more clear now. After a couple of days of talking about how we cannot underestimate anyone, that they are a serious team with serious individuals, and that we are not a team that can beat just anyone with our offensive qualities, looks like those thoughts were not accepted. Looks like we all think we are much better than what we actually are. This has been clear to me from the start and I am glad that this game showed the players that we do not have that much quality that we can be lackadaisical or that we can underestimate anyone. This team can win only if it leaves their heart and all their energy on the floor. I don't think we had energy and heart tonight. Bourg totally deserved this win. They totally outplayed us and gave us a lesson about how to love your club."

SAVOVIC, SLOBODAN

JL Bourg assistant coach

"After a victory, we all are going to feel fine, but the health was the most important thing for us and unfortunately we had Peacock injure his knee, but it looks like it is not serious, so we are thankful for that. For the game, I have to say congratulations to our players. It is amazing that after 20 days without a collective practice - only three players were practicing individually. When we arrived in Belgrade we held our first team practice. We just hoped that nobody would get injured. We believed we can win the game, but I think we surprised ourselves. This is a product of Coach Savo Vucevic. We didn't do anything special that we have not done from the beginning of the season. It is just that the guys gave 100% physically to be present here. It was a great game and a great win for us. Mentally this game will go a long way. Now we have to take the time to recover our players. I am sure they are not gonna feel good in the next couple of days, but we have a great medical staff, they will take care of them and we will be ready to play next week. It felt great to be [back in Belgrade]. Especially because we won against a great team. We managed to do what we wanted to do from the beginning and that is to put Partizan in our own rhythm because we could not run with them up and down."

"I feel great. I have to congratulate my teammates, it was a hell of a game. After two weeks without practicing for the whole team, we came here all together. We got into the game really good. It started from the defense. We played with great energy, we were switching everything because we had to substitute many players because we did not practice, but in the end, we showed character, showed how we can play basketball. I am really glad we got this win because it is really important for us to go to the next phase. It is always special when you come to your city, to your hometown. I was feeling really great. The only bad thing is we could not see fans inside the arena, it would have been even more special for me. But it is nice to see family and friends and all the people in the club where I used to play."
