Joan Peñarroya

“Very happy for the win but also for seeing a lot of people at the Congost again. I think that is the best news for our basketball. We came knowing what we were up to, against the rival we were playing against, we had a very good concentration on those defensive details that we had to try to control and I am quite satisfied with our defensive work in a game in which the accuracy of Baxi Manresa was not. It was good, but in those spaces where we didn't want them to hurt us and their game in the race, we managed to stop them quite a bit. The somewhat silly turnovers we have had in the first quarter have deprived us of being even more comfortable and calm on the scoreboard. From there we have controlled the game, we have had the contribution of the young players who have been helping us a lot throughout the preseason. And winning at the Nou Congost is not easy and doing it as we have done is highly commendable"

 

Josep Puerto

“It is an important win for us, it is always difficult to win here. The best thing from us has been the mentality with which we have come out despite the turnovers and everything that is happening to us, we have come to win despite everything. From defense and rebound we have been dominating the game. They have followed behind, we have controlled it and we have obtained the victory”.
