Kostas Missas, Greece coach:

"We had a good game in defense, but I cannot say the same thing about our offense. Serbia is one of the best teams of our group and we didn't manage to take advantage of some free shots we had during the game. At the end we managed to lower the difference, to cut it to three points. We got defeated with three points, the same difference we have won in Serbia. It was a disadvantage for us that we didn't manage to control the rebounds, against a team that had a lot of solutions in the paint and taller players."

Toula Kalentzou, Greece player:

"We didn't play well. We couldn't find the basket from long distance. The defeat came because of our bad percentage in shooting, and not from our defense. We played rather well in defense. Now we must concentrate on our next game. We need the win against Bulgaria on Wednesday. We have to give our best and get the win away from home."

Jovica Antonic, Serbia coach:

"It was a very important game for us. Now we still have chances to get to Eurobasket. We knew that we had possibilities to get the positive result if we could make it a low scoring game. We tried to play good defense on Greece's most dangerous players and to control the rhythm. The victory is what is important for us but it will mean something only if we get the win against Belgium. Our win will force Greece to beat Bulgaria, a result that is good for us."

Marija Eric, Serbia player:

"It was a very important game for us and we knew it. Had we lost today, it would have been game over for us! We played very well for two periods, but we lost our rhythm on the way. Anyway, in the end we managed to get the win and that is the important point."
