Bravo and congratulations to the team. We played another serious game. It was evident in the beginning that Zielona Gora is in the official game mode as they have already played 6 official games in the Polish League. We were lacking easy baskets and we managed to change it in the second half, we found ways to defend. In the last quarter we forced 8 turnovers and some bad shots. What I really like is that when we change lineups we are not losing rhythm and enthusiasm on defensive end. We are driven to create turnovers, we are the team that is set to create turnovers. This mindset has to remain in the whole season. I am not happy with the turnovers we made, we had 9 in the first half which is too much, this is something we have to work on. Besides we wanted to please our fans in the first home game here at Megasport, we are happy to see them coming here to support us.
