Although we met Christ Koumadje, we still accumulated points, but that was not the point. I’m glad we got involved in defense and congratulated the guys on the win. Congratulations to Lukas Lekavičius on his birthday. He made successful strides, hit the two points, and when he shoots from a distance, I’m very happy about that.
However, the performance of Martinas Gebenas was terrible. He deserved it because he worked hard and came out of the shadows, kudos to him.

– Of course, I was very dissatisfied. Not only because of the 41 points scored and the 51 lost, he was very unhappy. I let the boys understand that. I am satisfied with his reaction in defense.
– From what point of view will the team go to the two remaining games?
– We will fight very hard, even though Baskonia are in a very good situation. We want to win both games, because typically 18 wins guarantee the playoffs, this has been the case for the last five years. With 17 wins it wasn’t guaranteed yet, but 18 wins are an absolute guarantee that he will get there. Sometimes 16 wins were enough to get there.
