Quotes after the game KK Kumanovo 2009 - Hapoel Holon

Hapoel Holon defeated KK Kumanovo 2009 in an interesting clash from Group G of Delasport Balkan League. Here are some quotes once the game was over:

Igor Gjiorgijevski, head coach of KK Kumanovo 2009: "The experience of playing in such competitions against such teams is giving its results. My players were in the game for three and a half quarter and I want to thank them for that. At the end though they lost some focus and probably were tired because we've had a lot of games in short period of time. Hapoel Holon is a great team, very well prepared with really good players who have even been in Euroleague. I'm really happy with the way my team played."

Otis Livingston, player of KK Kumanovo 2009: "They're a great team. They shot the ball well, they played physical. Even though they missed some players, they still showed they are great because of their bench and depth they used."

Stefanos Dedas, head coach of Hapoel Holon: "We knew that it was the second game for us in last 24 hours. With no disrespect towards Kumanovo but we didn't use our full roster because of fatigue. I'm satisfied with the players who didn't have opportunities before, but came out and helped us by receiving playing time. It was very good that Kumanovo was well prepared, they had confidence and we had to play very good to beat them. I give them credit - to the team and to the coach. I apologize we didn't present our full roster but it was physically impossible with all the respect towards Kumanovo."

Yogev Ohayon, player of Hapoel Holon: "It was a very tough game after a night without sleeping. The most important thing was to win and we did it. It was a tough opponent which deserves all our respect."
