"It was a tough match. I think that the rank of Frutti Extra Bursaspor in the league doesn’t reflect their true power, they have had one-two unlucky loss. They are a team on the EuroCup level, we came here knowing that. Issues with our shorts’ defense at the beginning of the match, followed by defensive rebound problems allowed the first half to end with a tie. We played tougher in the second half, concentrated on rebounds more. We allowed a few critical rebounds but we fought well, shared the minutes well as well. We’ve won with our fight and stubbornness on our defense in a day where we didn’t score our outside shot percentage. We have a Euroleague match at home on Wednesday against Crvena Zvezda, and we will start that match’s preparations from tomorrow. Congratulations to Frutti Extra Bursaspor and I wish them success.”
