Congratulations to the team on the second victory in the series and on the performance. We were much better today, especially in the second half. We defended better, we had something to rely upon even though Loko was up by 1 at one moment. Our opponents are good team but with all due respect we were playing better, we forced 18 turnovers, we fought on the rebounds, we were creative and mobile. Our offense made opponents either foul or let us shoot open shots. Away game is ahead of us, we understand that the series is over only after three wins. I would like to thank our fans again, they supported us really well today. When we have so many fans, when they cheer so well, our guys are playing much better.
