Valencia Basket coach, Pedro Martínez, assessed the game after the team's narrow victory:

"I think we played well, moving the ball effectively, but with little accuracy, especially in the second half. This caused us to lose some confidence, and the game became a bit lackluster because, even though the passes and shots were good, missing them impacts you mentally.

However, they were good shots, and we must keep taking them. The positive thing is that we maintained a strong mentality by attacking the offensive rebounds, which allowed us to make up for the missed three-point shots. It's very difficult to win without making outside shots, as happened to us in the second half, but we minimized it with our aggressiveness on the offensive rebounds.

That's something to be happy about, because you can miss shots, but what you can't do is give up. Going for the offensive rebound is a great way to show that you don't want to give up."
