Post-game quotes:
Jacek Winnicki, head coach of Dabrowa Górnicza: “I’m really happy that MKS won. I’m not especially glad about this game, because we had a good moments, we built a lead, and after that we lost that by our mistakes. We still have to work on it. Now we have a bad situation on the team – we have some injuries, but this win makes us happy.”
Trevon Bluiett, player of Dabrowa Górnicza: “I think we played well. Last cup game we dropped the ball and we let Oberwart come back, so this week we were more focused on finishing the whole game. Especially that we have injured players. I think that we made it for them and we played hard. At the end of the day it is all about getting a win so I think we play better today.”
Jeronimo Šarin, head coach of Furnir: “First of all I want congratulate to Dabrowa Górnicza and their victory. They deserve it and were better off for these ten points. We are the youngest team in this league, we are trying to fight. If we had better shot percentage today, probably we will have better result. But the season just started and we try to show our the best basketball.”
Taveion Hollingsworth, player of Furnir: “We played a good game overall. I just felt that our players get to stay out of the faul troubles, so I started to play a little bit more. We need to play better defense and stop the turnovers.”
