But so is the Monacoa group that you should not relax and make mistakes. And especially with Okobo and James at that time. We lost control a little at that time of the third period. We did a great teamwork but it is the best personal appearance I’ve ever seen the Euroleague what Nan did. In such a game and away to make such a look with terrible statistics, with a shot in the plain, assists were the key to winning the match. “
