Jose Hernandez, Salamanca:

It was a very hard game, as we suspected it to be. It was very important to start winning today. If our Americans would have come earlier we would be better prepared and would have done much better. But we are getting better day by day.

Mark Köpp, Dorsten:

We did a very good first half and gave our best in defense but in the second half we became tired and had too few possibilities to change our players. We just needed someone there to come in and score. Salamanca just shot better in the end. We had too many problems to score under the basket and would have needed better shots from the outside. We also should have put more pressure on them.
