THE Mateus Ponitka spoke ahead of this match, stressing that it is an opportunity for the “greens” to show that they deserved something more this season.
His statements in detail:
“We’re upset, definitely upset because I don’t think any of us expected this season. We have one more game and I hope we can show that we deserved more. We will fight and I hope we will surprise.”
On how hard it is to find motivation for these kinds of races: “For me it is not difficult at all. We go there, in one of the “hot” teams this season in the Euroleague, in a stadium with 20,000 people, we will compete against a very good team. I don’t know what else can motivate you. In such an environment, it should be natural to be motivated to compete against Partizan.”

The last matches of the Basket League showed us that the teams are not “sleeping”, they are getting better and better. It won’t be easy, we’ll have to perform well to win the games and fight for the championship.”
