“We did not start well in the second half and again after a timeout we continued well. In the end it was very important that we did not give up on Zalgiris even though she narrowed the result. We played very well on defense, on offense we played smart and I think the points at the end were very important. The defense has proven itself. This is an important victory for us after some bad results. We have five games left and we will fight to the end.

“I have said since the beginning of the season that I do not come with complaints to a particular player these to everyone. No matter who, all the players are important, we are a team and we play together. Everyone knows they are important to the team. “Everyone who played mainly in the second half helped us win and that was what was most important to us.”
