Chus Mateo: “We played pretty well”
“I had a nasty ankle injury but I'm fine now, I feel happy and full of confidence," said Musa following his impressive display against Baskonia.
Chus Mateo and Musa assessed Real Madrid's win over Baskonia at the Buesa Arena. The coach was pleased with his team's performance on matchday 15 in the League: “We played pretty well. They're a high-scoring team and even though they were hit with Howard and Moneke's absences, that shouldn't take away from our efforts on defense. They often don't start so strongly and might go in behind at halftime, but they always react well and have come back in really tough games so we had to show them respect.”
Four games this week
“We have to be prepared for this schedule. It's part of the road we have to take and we can't afford to get distracted from our main objectives."
Musa: “We've got the talent to win in Vitoria”
“It's not easy to win in Vitoria but we know we have the talent to do it. We're going to keep working hard because now we've got a tough run of games away from home but we're ready for them."
“I had a nasty ankle injury with four torn ligaments. I'm fine now, I feel happy and full of confidence but it wasn't easy for me to get back here. It was really frustrating but I'm back now."
Win for Deck
“It's really hard not having Deck here. First and foremost in the dressing room because he's a really well liked guy around the place. This win is for him."
