Werner Sallomon, head coach of Dukes: “We have at least partially reached our goals and could use all players today. Unfortunately, not all are as far as they should be, besides, the heavy game of Sunday is still in our bones.”
Christoph Leydolf, player of Dukes: We were defensively weak today and usually one step too late. We threw too much and finished too rarely under the basket, so we lost the game.
Tamas Bencze, head coach of ZTE KK: “We came here to win the game to have good chances for the qualification into the play-offs. First half was tight, we did not came into the game and were thinking too much about the referee decicions. In the second half we showed, what we are able to play and won the game.”
