“Zadar is a very good team with a great coach that carried the support of the audience and played remarkably at home. Already in the past we have shown that we can play there, we won one and lost the second time with one point. With the defense on the right level, I believe we will reach the victory which would have meant a lot for us”,

“The previous two games we have a bad start, but we succeeded in both matches to get back in the game, and against the MZT fully to reverse and win. We showed character and with aggressive play in the defense of which became our trademark, with a quick game, I think we can beat anyone, including Zadar who played well at home. We havet the youngest team in ABA league, but we are so highly motivated. Every match for us is a great school, but we are trying to play beautiful basketball. We continue not to be completed, by the absence of two players, but we will try to come with a great fighting spirit to the desired result”.
