KK Kozuv won an important game against BC Rilski Sportist and qualified for the semifinal in EUROHOLD Balkan League. Here are some quotes after the end of this match: Rosen Barchovski, head coach of BC Rilski Sportist: "We woke up in the second half and started to play late. They score 51 points in the first half and this is not for the first time. From minus 19 points we make it 1 and this is where our problem is. I′m tired to explain the things with fatigue and injuries. If we play defense earlier, if we play in the right way some situations at the end and put the ball inside to Rakocevic things can be different, although he was very tired. The game was decided in the first half when you have to play defense while still fresh, the difference to be less and then in the second half based on our class and our experience to turn the score around."
Milos Pejic, head coach of KK Kozuv: "We had a lot of problems before the game. We are missing three players and we played the Macedonian cup until a few days ago. We played the final and we were very tired which I think was the main reason that we lost our lead in the last quarter. I′m very happy with the result which put us in first place. I congratulate the home team that didn′t give up and played really well even when down by 19 points. We are in the semifinal and we want to go as far as possible."
Filip Sepa, player of KK Kozuv: "We had control of the game for 25 minutes. Then we had a let down and they reduced the gap. They even had a chance to take the lead but we stopped them. I think we deserved to win. 3 days ago we played the Cup final, we were exhausted phisically and mentally which could be a reason for our let down at the end. We achieved a very very important win and secured our place in the semifinal and probably a home advantage if we go to the final. We don′t think too far ahead. We know all teams and we don′t think who will come. Whoever that is we are going to prepare well and try to win. We want to win the Balkan league and we′ll see what will happen."
