Bob Gonnen, Allianz Swans Gmunden (Headcoach):

"If you play against such a terrific team with such a famous coach, you don't have to motivate your players. Everybody put his heart on the floor today."

"We maybe played our best game of the season so far."

Peter Hütter, Allianz Swans Gmunden (Player):

"It was a close game. We used our home-court-advantage. In the second game this will change, so Red Star Belgrade is the favourite."

Svetislav Pesic, Red Star Belgrade (Headcoach):

"The visitors saw an interresting game, intensive and attractive. In the first half we had everything under control. In the second half we did not play that well. When their Austrian players started to hit the threes, they saw, that there is something possible."

"We showed our nerves and lost control then. If you lead almost the whole game, you cannot be satisfied with the outcome."

Marko Keselj, Red Star Belgrade (Player):

"We had a bad second half, they hit every shot and made 52 points in the second half. I hope, we will play better in Belgrade and will qualify for the EuroCup."
