Bologna, 10 March –
Speaking to the microphones after the game was Iffe Lundberg, 12 points with four rebounds and six assists: “First of all, we have great chemistry. We all knew how much we needed this win tonight, especially bouncing back from the loss we got at home against Partizan. Ultimately, we still keep fighting every game for the playoffs, and this win was another step in that direction. We stuck to the game plan, played with resiliency; we knew they are a high-pace team, that could produce from our mistakes. It’s always tough to come back from 20 points down, especially after halftime, but they had nothing to lose at that point, so we had to go out and fight an that’s what we did. We expected [they would come back] and they did it, but we kept fighting.”
Kyle Weems, who scored 22 points with 5/5 from two and 4/7 from three, also spoke after the victory over Berlin: “I played with confidence. I put a lot work in, my teammates trusted me today and they found me when I was open, so I’ve got to get credit for them. I’m happy with our win. I’ve been playing with Milos [Teodosic] for four seasons now. Nothing he does amazes me anymore. His aggressiveness, his IQ, but more importantly the way he wants to share the ball and get his teammates going before he is able to make shots and play for himself. He is one of my favorite teammates of all time, and obviously he is one of the best players ever played in Europe. He showed it today.”
