Quotes after the game BC Levski 2014 - KB Bashkimi

Levski 2014 recorded its second straight win in group B of SIGAL-UNIQA Balkan League after defeated Bashkimi at home. Here is what both head coaches had to say after the end of the game:     Nikolay Gospodinov, head coach of BC Levski 2014: "In this match we were like wounded lions and wanted to take back our dignity. I want to underline the performance of Pavel Ivanov who played a great defense on their best scorer Tay Waller. Sasho Yanev also entered the game well and the same goes for Ventsi Petkov and Aleks Simeonov. Generally we played as a team."     Petar Mijovic, head coach of KB Bashkimi: "Yes, this was our worst game so far this season. We came here after three very hard matches and were weakened as three of our main players were not here. The center Tsakaleris left us a few days ago due to personal reasons, Granit Rugova got injured in our last local league game and we are without him, and 4-5 days ago Imer Tahiri was operated and is also out. I think that at the start of the game we missed a chance to take some lead which could′ve allowed us to stay close until the break. In the end Levski used its chance, kept the lead they have and scored some good shots in the third quarter. We couldn′t control the rebounds and Yanev, Milutinovic and Simeonov used that. We are in a difficult moment because our roster is short now. We need to have our players back because this was our third difficult game in seven days and it was felt on the court. I think the pause in BIBL is coming at the right time for us. I hope that in Cetinje we are going to look better. This is a very important game for us because with a win we can come to a situation to qualify for the next stage as one of the top three teams in the group."
