Congratulations to our team with another victory. We showed that we approach every game seriously even when we accomplished our goals in the regular season. Me and my players, we have a motto: respect the game and the game will respect you. Overall we controlled the game today. Tsmoki have quality to score, they play well at home. They scored on a number of tough shots today, especially in the third quarter where they made 8 of 10 perimeter shots. We made some mistakes, for example we were going under on screen-and-rolls for Mirkovic. We will analyze why we allowed the opponent to score 33 points in the third quarter. At the same time I am happy for some of the players who played well. We showed character in the end, stopped the main players of Minsk team and won.
