Dreamland Gran Canaria- Valencia Basket post-game quotes: Pedro Martínez

28/12/2024

"It was a closely contested game. I think Gran Canaria had a very good second half. We hung in there as best as we could, but we had an excellent opportunity in the last few minutes to take the lead. A good three-pointer from the corner, completely open, would have put us ahead and allowed us to play a bit with the opponent's nerves. That shot, which was a great opportunity, didn't go in. Then, overall, our defense wasn’t solid, especially in the second half. 35 points in the third quarter, I think that's too many. So, well, that's it. It was a tight game, sometimes it goes your way, and today it didn’t. Honestly, I don’t pay much attention to whether we're leaders or not at this point in the season. What matters is competing. The league is very close. Losing at Gran Canaria's court shouldn’t be a drama. We would have liked to win, but we have to understand that Gran Canaria is an excellent team, they play very well, and well, it should hurt to lose, but no dramas. We need to focus on our next game and keep going"
