Congratulations to my team, they were really concentrated. It is difficult to say something that we accomplished on the court. What I want to say is that our defense was at the level we want to be, because we gave up 64 points in two quarters against Baskonia. And today we kept a very athletic and a very talented team really low for their standards. So I think our defense gave the tone, everybody contributed great, D-Hil [Hilliard]l, Toko [Shengelia] and Nikola [Milutinov], but I want to say the fact that without playing with two creators [Daniel Hackett and Will Clyburn], Mike is giving a lot to the team. He had to play a lot of minutes, being composed, making plays for everybody and for himself. So congratulations to each and everyone, I like the second unit, how it comes in and contributes as well. So, a good win.
