"We accomplished our first goal in the Eurocup, which was the qualification to the Last 16. We had the opportunity to win by a wider margin, but Zadar is a team which insists and fights until the very end. In the second and third quarter we were good in defense and built an important score difference, but in the fourth quarter our attack didn’t work well. We lost too many defensive rebounds, 16 in total, giving Zadar the chance to have a lot of second attacks. Paunic and Labovic had a good debut. I’m pleased with their performance and so are they. Seeing them celebrate in the dressing room, as if they were members of this team since the start of the season, was a very pleasant image. I really don’t see that much difference between ending up 1st or 2nd in the group, but we will definitely go for the victory in Israel."

"I can’t say that we didn’t do our maximum effort. However, it wasn’t enough. We were decent in defense, but we had a scoring problem. We missed some 7-8 layups and also missed too many free throws. We could have scored 75 or 80 points, but we threw it away. We were amazing in the rebounds and especially in the offensive rebounds, but this wasn’t enough to make us win. I think that 2-3 of our younger players were affected by the atmosphere in the gym and didn’t play as good as they can. These fans are really rewarding. They support their team in a correct way and they truly are the sixth player for Aris."
