“It was a very important win for us. It was a game without tomorrow and I think we were very focused, determined to have a good game defensively and offensively”, stated the coach.

“We did not lose our concentration in the crucial moment in the beginning of the game when Efes started really good, scored easy and with great rhythm, and got a 13-point lead. We reacted, and at halftime the difference was fair enough for both teams to continue to fight for the second half. In the second half, it was big fight, especially in the third quarter when both teams scored against each other, but in the fourth period I think with our great defense, we kept Efes in low scoring, allowing only 8 points, which was very important to dominate the game.”

“With all this, I want to emphasize that series is at 2-2, and we still have one more game to play. To go to Final Four, you need three wins. Both teams will fight in Game 5, in our home court, and we need to continue to stay focused. In the last 48 hours our mental preparation was very important, to change the momentum from Game 3 to Game 4.”
