The coach referred to the defeat: “Congratulations to Bilbao Basket. It is a well-built, well-coached team that competes very well and deserves the place it currently holds in the standings. I am happy for Ponsarnau because his work has this reward.”
“I am not leaving Bilbao dissatisfied at all. We played very well for many minutes. Obviously, we played with the attitude of wanting to win. We have very marked limitations but, despite that, the team has shown that it tries as long as it can. Hlinason's 22 points and the 11-rebound difference were decisive.”
