“First of all I would like to congratulate Banvit because they played very tough from the beginning and deserved to win. I think that we couldn’t play our own game and therefore lost in the end. The first quarter was very important because they gained the advantage in the first quarter, we couldn’t change this situation. They have had too many offensive rebounds, we have also made offensive mistakes. Therefore we couldn’t change the result.”

Anadolu Efes’s successful player Can Maxim Mutaf also stated his thoughts: “We were suppose to play better. Banvit played better than us. They deserved the Cup, congratulations.”
