KK Kumanovo defeated BC Rilski Sportist in overtime at home but it wasn′t enough as the visitors are the ones that advanced through to the semifinal. Here are some quotes after the end of this match:

Strashko Todorovikj, head coach of KK Kumanovo 2009: "First we missed Filipovic who is one of our most important players and is injured. Also we didn′t do a good job in defensive rebounding because Uros Lukovic had a bad game and played small minutes. However I think the overall score was decided mostly in the first game in Samokov. We entered it very easy and unfortunately we finish the Balkan League this season."

Vukasin Mandic, player of KK Kumanovo 2009: "I think the first game decided the outcome. You saw that we fought, we reached that 12 points but it wasn′t enough. I also thank the fans that helped us go to overtime but at the end we didn′t succeed. The first game was the key."


Rosen Barchovski, head coach of BC Rilski Sportist
: "Kumanovo had some luck at the end of regular time with Kostoski′s triple which put the game in overtime. Then in the extra five minutes I think we had more freshness and it helped us. When Kumanovo was up by 16 the pressure was on them because they had to win by 12 and in that moment it was mostly psychology. Overtall it′s a luck. We won but also Kumanovo could have won it."

Yordan Bozov, player of BC Rilski Sportist: "I think we played better in the first half and then at the start of the second we allowed very bad 5-6 minutes when the hosts pulled away by 10 points. From that moment on the game was very even. In the overtime both teams could′ve won but we had more luck. I hope that we′ll play well in the semifinals. It′s good that when were down by 16 we didn′t give up. With those fans, the good offense Kumanovo had in the second half, I′m happy we didn′t give up and managed to make some fast breaks which helped us."
