Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone and your families. May this year be a healthier year without viruses and all these difficulties we are facing as humanity. Congratulations to Baskonia. Obviously, they opened the game much better. I can talk about the two quarters in which they outscored us 64-42. Our defense was not on the level we wanted. We gave our fights. We came back a lot of times. We were up plus-five in the third quarter. We couldn't maintain our lead, and then it was a tight game. We had our chances at the end, but it's not about the last shot. I think our defense was not on the level we wanted. We managed to actually score a lot of points in a cold gym, but they did, too. So, congratulations.
