Yelena LEUCHANKA, Galatasaray:

"I`m happy for the win. We knew that the game would be a really tough one. We didn't play good defense in the first half, we had to move ball more, improve our passing skills. Overall we have some things to work on."

Zafer KALAICIOGLU, Head Coach Galatasaray:

"Our team is better than last year. One of the reasons is a tough national championship. Maybe after Russia, the Turkish league TBBL is the best league in Europe. More than 20 WNBA players play in Turkey each year. No one knows the result in advance. I was coaching "Fenerbahce" in four EuroLeague Women campaigns and now I believe we can achieve good results with Galatasaray. We have experienced players."

Aija BRUMERMANE, TTT Riga:

"I`m really disappointed with our loss. We were better in many positions, however we made too many turnovers. We need to improve in all components of the game, practice hard, work hard to succeed in every game. A lot of things to work on."

Ainars CUKSTE, Head Coach TTT Riga:

"We lost due to many turnovers. There are no excuses not to pass the ball and for the poor dribbling. Only one of our players - Aija - has real experience in EuroLeague Women. We completely stopped in the end, get lost and it cost us the game. I didn`t liked the last quarter."
