Quotes after the game BC Levski - KB Peja

KB Peja defeated BC Levski away with very good defense yesterday in Sofia. The visitors won an important match and after the end of it here is what both head coaches had to say:   Konstantin Papazov, head coach of BC Levski: "We had some situations when based on character we could catch them but we didn′t succeed. 14 offensive rebounds for Peja are too much and this was a big problem for us. Usually we are rebounding well but they took advantage on us without having a size advantage. We missed an important chance but now we have to make up for it away. Unfortunately away from Sofia we play better. We defeated that team in front of a full gym. The bad start to the game and the bad one to the second half were the keys in this match. The visitors deserved to win."     Daniel Lutz, head coach of KB Peja: "The defense was the key to win. Levski has great individuals, both Bulgarian gyus are really good and the Americans plus Micic, so you have to play very good defense to be able to get a chance to win. We did that and than in offense we were unselfish, we moved the ball well, scored some shots and it was enough. I saw confidence in my players which is very important to every coach. Also we were preparing ourselves as we wanted not to let them score but to make them score. This was our defense and they had trouble scoring. I′m mostly proud that we won the rebounding against such a big team and that proved to be the case for us to run and score easy points."
