"I think we were better from the beginning, but of course Zalgiris played great in the first half, coming as close as like four points at the halftime. But in the second half, we made some improvements in defense and made big shots in the third quarter when we gained the lead and took control of the game. I know Zalgiris has pretty young point guards, but when it comes to the game, you donʼt think if your opponent is younger or older. You just play the game and try to make things better for your team. The final margin is big but it was difficult game. We had to give 100 percent and I want to congratulate Zalgiris for the way they fought. We tried to play hard, very hard, from the beginning and we wanted to put all the efforts on defense, because when you win the defense, you win the game. When you play here and let Zalgiris get hot, get all the crowd going, then itʼs very difficult to regain control. So whenever they got close, we stepped up together, we played very good defense and good defense gave confidence to the offense. I just found out from journalists that I became fourth player in Euroleague that reached the 2,000-point plateau and itʼs good thing in my career and I just want to keep going like that."
