Alex Scales, Samara: "We just came here and play basic basketball. I wasnt worrying about my own statistics at all. It doesnt matter to me, if the team wins. We did our job today and thats it. Two points." Pasi Riihelä, Lappeenranta: "I am a very dissapointed after this fight. Still we have to be proud that we played well today. It wasnt enough though and if you look at our shooting % we didnt make a good job with our offense. A couple times we had a good flow but all game we had a little problems to get an easy shots and in defense with their penetrations." Valeriy Tikhonenko, Samara: "We saw that Lappeenranta changed their defense to this game. It caused a little bit of a problem to us but still we came back to the game. Both games were pretty much the same, there in Samara and here in Lappeenranta. We have had a tight games all these three victories. And all the time we have make the last long offense shot."
Mika Turunen, Lappeenranta: "I feel empty, and its hard to explain this feeling. I know that we played a good game but still lose tightly. We slept a few times in defense, and Samara used it every time. If you look at our freethrows we made 10 of 17, you can see a small piece of our consentration problems. But still this was a probably one of the best basketball games in this gym ever!" |
