Quotes after the game Rilski Sportist - Peja

BC Rilski Sportist defeated KB Peja at home and here is what both head coaches said after the game:

Rosen Barchovski, head coach of BC Rilski Sportist: "Samir Shaptahovic who is 177 cm tall scored 38 points on us but he didn′t surprise us because this is his style. We just didn′t guard him in the right way. We started the game bad - with no focus. I think the game with Levski reflected on us - we had some tough conversations and very tough practices. After all this is a tournament and each win is important - this is our third in a row and we are first. The other things need to be fixed. Our group is an even one and two things need to happen - to win all home games and at least one away. I need to mention Zlatin Georgiev who made some very important baskets. He can do it, he just needs to believe and be braver."


Borislav Kurtovic, head coach of KB Peja: "I know that Rilski is a very good team. We watched their first two games and we prepared for them. However we have problems with injuries but we still tried to show the best we have. We were close to get the victory but I want to congratulate Rilski. Our ambition is just to play. As I said we have problems with injured players - like our best scorer Puljko and Simovic who is not 100% yet. For now we just hope to advance to the next round. Shaptahovic is very good and experienced player and knows how to play in such games which he showed this time."
