Congratulations to my players with the victory. We set the tempo of the game thanks to our defense, we demonstrated very good defensive approach. The only problem was the big number of turnovers in the second quarter that allowed Avtodor to play in the open court. In the other quarters the opponents did not score more than 15 points. Our approach to the game was different, I could say that we bounced back after loss in Madrid but our commitment now is to get better and better each practice.
