Chus Mateo: “We were focussed from the start and played well offensively'
'Randolph had been injured for a long time and I'm delighted he’s back', said the coach.
Chus Mateo analysed his side’s win over Coviran Granada on matchday 25 of the Liga Endesa: “We played well. We were organised at the start and we were very focused. Everything was easy when we set the game on the right track. We played very well offensively because we ran a lot and rebounded well. We also hit good open shots.'
'I'm delighted that Randolph is back because he's given so much for so many years. I was able to give him minutes and rotate other players. He'd been injured for a long time and it's not easy. These have been the two hardest injuries in basketball. He's given us a lot and the best way to thank him was to play him today. He also got to feel the affection of the fans. Now he's a mature player and he'll be playing a different kind of basketball.”

“We approached this game well. We carry a burden that other teams don't have. Less than two days ago we played in Belgrade and we had to show respect to the opposition. What's important is to keep our players physically and mentally strong. My players are doing that extremely well and it's helping us.”
