Richard Ďuriš, head coach Komarno: “We are very pleased to have managed to repeat the performance especially in the second half, just as we did in the match against Levice two days ago. We were struggling with the beginning, but my praise belongs to our players, who mainly in the second half showed tremendous heart, and, we are very happy that we managed it this way. Certainly the reprisal is not going to be easy, but we will do everything we can and see what happens. “
Siniša Bilič, player Komarno: “In the first half we did not play our game completely, we were without power. After the break, we took over and the second half we played the way we know. Half of the duty is behind us, we did what we could, and we will try to finish the whole thing in Slovenia to have the title of this competition in Komarno. “
Dejan Čikič, head coach Domzale: “It was a very difficult match, we knew that Komarno is aggressive by playing nice offensive basketball and they are in great shape. Our defense was not at a good level, concluding that we got a lot of points. I hope that in the retaliation my players will have a better approach and that we manage it. “
Simo Atanackovič player Domžale: “Komarno was a better team than us and deserved the win. Our offence was working, but the defense did not work at all. And that was, unfortunately, not enough to have succeeded upon a team so well shooting team, as Komarno”
