– Very important game for us. Our goal is to play in the play-off. One win more to position 8. We were up by 20 points, but we lost focus in couple of minutes and they had 6-8 points difference, but we controlled the game until the end. We have a game every two-three days and we need to evolve everyone in the roster - said coach Oliver Vidin after the game.
