Statements:

Giorgos Pantelakis said: "We did a good job in tactics but not in our defensive rebounds. We lost 15 rebounds and it was something we wanted to control right from the start. We saw some weaknesses in defense and we will focus our offensive part there. In our defense we have to improve so as to become very tough. Orman Genclik is a team that scores 85 points but today, 64. I think we can do something similar in Turkey. It is a match where we have 4-5 possessions ahead of them and we will go to Ankara to win and qualify. "

Bassara Graves stated: "We came out to the parquet and we were following our plan. In the biggest part of the game, we played pretty well in our defense and got the win. We let them think they could turn it around, but we played pretty well anyway. We must now play good defense in Turkey and be focused on our goal for 40 minutes. "
