“When you lose games by one point, you can look for, and find excuses, anywhere – in incorrect free throws, in allowed rebounds, in nasty, 3-point percentage points, and in naive mistakes that we continue to make. However, these excuses do not make the defeat less painful or serious. The main problem was the fear that made us anxious and tense – in the first quarter, we studied our opponent, and in the second and third, we were by no means clear in the reading of the match. We then made a great effort to recover, but it was too late and we ended up out of physical and mental energy. I am very sorry, especially for the fans – from tomorrow we’ll start to think about the next match on Wednesday in the FIBA ​​Europe Cup and, once we have made it through that, we’ll think about the next league match. Day by day, we will see what happens.”
