Chus Mateo: "It wasn't our best game"

Chus Mateo analysed the game between Real Madrid and Valencia Basket played at La Fonteta. The coach said: "They played a good game, they had a good day with their outside shooting and they played with a lot of energy. We could have done more but they were on point. We didn't have the best day in terms of defensive rebounding. We allowed them too much space at the back, not only in terms of scoring shots but also in terms of rebounds. That's what hurt us the most. It wasn't our best game. We have to think about the next game against Baskonia."
"We would like to finish in first place but it's not soley up to us. I've always said that it's good but not fundamental to win LaLiga. What is important is to maintain the level of play that we have been offering lately. What I'm interested in is that our next game is a good one and that we regain our positive momentum."

"We're worried about him. It's looking like a very bad injury as he has twisted his knee. We hope it's nothing but he's in a lot of pain. He won't be fit for Sunday and hopefully we can get him back as soon as possible. Now that it's his time more than ever, what happened to him last year at this stage of the season is happening to him again. It's the saddest thing about today's game."

"It's important to have him on court. He's always focused on doing his best. He has many more games left to play."
