Quotes after the game KK Kozuv - KK Sutjeska

KK Kozuv defeated KK Sutjeska at home in a crazy game from the first round of group D in EUROHOLD Balkan League. Here are some quotes after the end of the match:

Milos Pejic, head coach of KK Kozuv: "We were down for 39 minutes. Against us we had phenomenal opponent that night. A team which doesn′t play very typical - I′ve never seen 40 three-point attempts. And when they also make them it′s a very good problem. This kind of game didn′t suit us at all. A big problem for us was when after they were missing, they were grabbing offensive rebounds. We had a lot of problems but the most important things is that we managed in the last ten minutes to find solution and to win a game that seemed lost. It was a very important win and the next game is also very important one. For I didn′t change almost anything. We had a lot of games so there was no time. I′m happy with the results, the team is good and their is room for improvement."

Miladin Pekovic, player of KK Kozuv: "It was very difficult game for us. Sutjeska is tough opponent, they are young team and they came here to take the win. I think they played the best basketball from all teams we played so far in the competition. We had problems at the start as we didn′t play in our rhythm and we didn′t do what the coach told us to do. In the last quarter we started to do what we were supposed to do from the start, we became more aggressive on their guards and with that good defense we had some easy baskets. Both teams deserved to win, but I′m happy we did it."

Vladimir Todorovic, assistant coach of KK Sutjeska: "We can feel sorry about this game. I think we played a good match. One or two bad decisions in offense may be cost us the win but I cannot blame my young players who showed a great maturity, basketball knowledge and they gave their maximum against such a good team like Kozuv. With such performance we have our chances to advance further in the competition."
