Nikola Milutinov’s statements in detail:
His comment on the victory over Armani: “The whole team played well, not just me and the most important thing is the win we got. We know how difficult the continuation is and we want to get as many victories as possible.”
For the support of the people at the beginning of the race: “It meant a lot to me. It gave me energy, a special push and confidence after I didn’t start well. It was what I needed to boost my performance.”
About the game: “We thought the match was over and we relaxed. The Euroleague is tough and you have to be focused until the end. We reacted well at the end. But we shouldn’t jeopardize the game. We were at +15 and we shouldn’t take our foot off the gas and continue at the same pace.”
