Jonas Koitka, Joventut:

"I am very proud of my team because they showed what we want to show. Even though we were behind by 10 our guys were able to comeback and bring home the victory. We had some problems with our 3s and our transition play but thats ok. Happy to get the wins but still work ahead. Also very positive showings from our bench guys showing that they can get the job done as well. They were the ones giving us that 2nd win. Now looking forward and preparing for our next games against Karsiyaka."

Liaqat Ali, Paris:

"I do not like and appreciate their playstyle. They just play basic and simple pick and roll almost all of the time. But I won't argue. Congrats to Joventut."
