Dusko Ivanovic:
– We didn’t start this game very well. Several players saw that Elegar was out and played relaxed and unfocused. The second half was different. We started playing much better. It was very important to get the second win and now we head to Krasnoyarsk aiming to win. Elegar’s presence on the court made us play much more serious and focused, but when he didn’t start the game, we played very differently. I think that was our mistake, because a serious team should play at 100% every time, no matter if there is one Elegar or 10 of them on the court.
