Quotes after the game KB Bashkimi - KK Kozuv
KB Bashkimi recorded its first win of the season after beating dramatically KK Kozuv at home. Now after five games both teams have 1 victory and 4 defeats but still have their chance of qualifying for the Second Stage. Here are some quotes after the match was over:
Dragan Radovic, head coach of KB Bashkimi: "Very important win for us in order to stay in the battle for the second stage. I think that we played an excellent first half, we had a good rhythm in offense and defense but we didn’t manage to score some open shots and thus we didn’t create a bigger lead. The team of Kozuv used that in second half, they managed to bring the rhythm of the match down and be close with until the end. I congratulate my players for the win."
Eric Palm, player of KB Bashkimi: "Balkan League is an important event here and it was good for us to get our first win. It was a good overall team effort, we had good spurts and bad spurts. Both teams fought very hard and at the end it came out to be our day and it was a good win for us. It was a great atmosphere. Bashkimi fans are always behind us, I got to watch one game before I became part of the roster and the energy that they bring really help us pushing forward."
Vrbica Stefanov, head coach of KK Kozuv: "I congratulate Bashkimi for the win. We fought until the end. We knew that they are less effective against zone defense and played that way for most of the game. It produced result for us but we didn′t have the strength and reliability of some players to be the leaders and brings us to win. I can say that the defense decided the outcome of the match."
Nikola Djurasovic, player of KK Kozuv: "A good basketball match. Both teams fought because they need the win. In the end they showed more ability on the court and were more accurate with the 3-point shooting. I congratulate Bashkimi for the win but we deserved it as well."
