05/06/2021

Jaume Ponsarnau:

 

“Dedicate the victory and qualification to Jorge Bauset's family. And we want to dedicate another victory to Vicente Solá who has suffered a traffic accident and we missed him tonight. And we are going to work to get a new victory and dedicate it to him. We have started very well, with clear ideas, matching the things that had made them better in the series. In the first half we scored more points after turnovers than they did and with the second option, things were very close. In the second we started well, we understood how we had to start, with intensity, without accuracy but with common sense, deeper, finding Tobey's depth and finding the game that suits us well. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, those back-to-back turnovers when they made that gear change that they have and got us into trouble. We have kept calm and we have found players as a team, in other moments of crisis we have come undone. People were very involved and the Fonteta has helped. Basketball is much more beautiful with people”.

 

Nikola Kalinic

 

“We didn't want to go home, we wanted to continue playing one more series. I hope that against Real Madrid we give the same face, the energy, the effort. We have played well against them this season and hopefully we can surprise them”.
