Chus Mateo led his 200th game as Real Madrid coach in the match against Unicaja de Málaga. The coach, now in his third season in charge of the team, has won 1 Euroleague, 1 La Liga, 1 Copa del Rey and 2 Supercups. After the game at the WiZink Center, he said: "It was a tough game against an excellent opponent. We managed to keep a high physical level throughout the game and that meant we were well positioned".
"We read the game well and the team stayed solid at the back. Everyone played their part and we worked as a team. We allowed few offensive opportunities and limited Unicaja to a low scoring game. As a team we were superior throughout the game. We have to emphasise the heart and the collective performance".
