“The team played a serious basketball game. We have to continue in this vein”, explained Poirier after the win against Surne Bilbao Basket.

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".
