CBA-Euroleague Challenge quotes: Benetton 75-82 Sydney Kings
Sydney Kings head coach Brian Goorjian:

Our bench players understand our team structure better right now than our import players do. Even though the imports are starters, and are good players, I felt we were disorganized when we were falling down by 12 points in the third quarter. When we brought in our bench players, our system worked better and we got back in the game in a big way.

Sydney Kings forward Mark Worthington:

I think we got out of the blocks in the first quarter well. They fought back after that and took a big lead, but we did the same and out counterpunch was decisive. Our offense was better organized and better executed tonight, and that was the key. We were getting open shots the way that we didn't against CSKA last night, and that proved to be the difference.

Benetton Treviso head coach Alessandro Ramagli:

"It's amazing the way we switch on and then switch off the light of our mind, the way we play well and then stop playing like we were right before that. I think we did everything with our own hands tonight. We started slow in the first half, but started playing together and went ahead by a lot in the third quarter. Then everything stopped. It's so strange the way we turn off that light and let the opponent take over the game. I am disappointed that we turned off at the most important part of the game after getting a big lead."

Benetton Treviso forward Mario Austin:

"I think we got off to a slow start, were able to pick it up later, but that's not really a good way to go about it. I think with a team like we played tonight, we've got to be more explosive early, and tonight we waited too late. As a team we didn't play well when it counted."
