Chus Mateo: “We put in a good performance”

Chus Mateo and Poirier discussed Real Madrid's match against Surne Bilbao Basket. The coach gave his thoughts on the round 19 victory: "Winning always helps, and we won well too. We put in a good performance, especially in the second half".

"We came out in the third quarter with a lot of energy and we broke the 10-point gap we had at half-time. We pulled away quickly and the second half was a different story. On the whole, we were pretty good".

Poirier: "We're a team"
"We were a bit tired at the start of the game but then we found the rebounding and were able to run. We won well in the end by playing a serious basketball game. We have to continue in this vein".

Tavares' absence
"Ndiaye can play as well. We're a team. He's a big miss for us, but we have to keep going. We've always done it that way every time he's been out".
