WWe played good basketball tonight, and I'm very happy because my guys fought on defense and played hard. We were able to compete with Unicaja Malaga on the same level. For our organization, it is a special night, as we got our first victory in the Euroleague. Especially Slay had a good game, he got 13 points. Williams gave his support too. We had to win to keep on going."

"Chris Warren gave me a really good pass and it was kind of mixed up, they weren't really guarding me. I didn't shoot the ball as good I can tonight but in a moment like that, with your team down by 3, I don't mind if I was 0-for-10 or 10-for-10. It is a great win and I think we really deserved it. We want to advance to the Top 16 and a 0-3 situation would have been really bad for us. Unicaja is a tough team and I think we were physical enough to compete against them tonight. In the previous two games we had a chance to compete against both teams, but we didn't play with the intensity we needed against bigger, stronger opponents."

"Avellino played a good game. They belived in getting the victory and won with their heart. They played with maximum concentration. To win on this court will be very difficult for all teams. Now, we must work out to keep on improving and we hope to get to the Top 16. We are still ready to fight for victories and that will not change in Avellino."

"We didn't play good basketball. Avellino was able to defend hard. They competed with our team at the same level. Now we have to improve and try to win the next game. For me, the key of the game was Avellino's defense. We are ready to fight next week to take an important victory."
