Guntis Endzels, Head Coach Skonto Riga:

"I would like to thank my team, Today we were very  motivated, we had a very good fighting spirit. The result of the game was determined after our big players got 5 fouls and Chikalkin shot several key three-pointers. "

Darren Kelly, Skonto Riga:

"It is our first game in a European tournament and our first opponent is a very good team. They made us play a different game than we are used to. In the second half they made some key shots and this decided the game."

Sergei Belov, Head Coach Ural Great Perm:

"I am glad my team had the necessary motivation tonight. I think a great desire to win made us make so many mistakes. Unfortunately there were only a few moments tonight that we played the fast basketball I am asking from my players."

Vincent Jones, Ural Great Perm:

"When I came out onto the floor the coach said me calm down and be myself. So I tried to play my game, see what my partners do and help them. As for Skonto, I would say they are a very good team. They are young but they work hard and this makes them better."
