“First of all, congratulations to Crvena Zvezda on their victory. It was a tough game from the beginning, but we were ready to compete and did a good job of staying in the fight. However, we made a lot of mistakes that gave them extra momentum—missing free throws, missing rebounds, and committing easy turnovers. Little things like that made a difference at the end. Individually, Jared Butler was outstanding behind the three-point line, making seven three-pointers. At the same time, I have to congratulate my players for their effort. It was very difficult to match up, but we were able to contain some of the situations we had discussed. Now we have to clear our heads, recover physically and mentally, and get ready for the next game.”
