Congratulations to Kalev. It was our third road game in a row, we wanted to fight, but it didn’t work out. I can’t even single out one moment, there are a lot of factors. The hosts outrebounded us, there are several reasons for this. We have tough period. In the only quarter we won, we scored 10 points, and the opponents scored 7. We shot poorly throughout the game, free throws, three-pointers, two-pointers. We still have faith in what we are doing. I repeat, it is difficult to single out one thing. We've been in this situations before. I will just remind our fans who have faith into the team that we are the same group of guys that 7 days ago won two important games without three key players. All of us, the players and coaches, we need to accept criticism and go back into hard work so that better days come for our fans, for our administration.
