“We knew it was going to be a very tough game. Perhaps it helped us that Dubai Basketball needed the victory to keep their play-in hopes alive, while we did not have that chance. We played very solidly from start to finish, with the only issue coming in the third quarter when our defense dipped a bit. Still, we controlled the game for almost 40 minutes. I'm happy with the victory. For us, every Euroleague game is important from the beginning because we are always facing great teams. Today, we showed that character right from the start and managed to earn two wins in a double-game week. This really shows the team's improvement.”
