BASKETBALL

Post-game reaction from Beşiktaş Fibabanka Head Coach Alimpijevic:

 
"First of all, I would like to congratulate Cedevita Olimpija. They deserved to win.  On the other hand, we didn't look like a real Besiktas Fibabanka tonight. 
 
The basketball we played all season was the basketball we played until the beginning of the second half. In the second half, we could not respond to the toughness of our opponent. From my point of view, the key to the game was the number of second chances we gave our opponent and the number of times we sent our opponent to the free throw line.
 
We gave our opponent more than 20 second chance points. We sent our opponent to the free throw line 35 times. We made terrible choices when sending our opponent to the free throw line. Our opponent scored a lot of crucial points from unnecessary fouls. You can't win a EuroCup playoff game if you don't use your foul rights correctly. In short, we simply didn't deserve it tonight."
