Here’s what he said in detail:
“The first game is always strange. It’s always important, and we got the win here in Vitoria, which isn’t an easy place to play. Baskonia has talent; we managed to score 106 points, but we made mistakes and need to be more careful. We’ll get better day by day.
Our defense, aside from the start, was very good. We grabbed rebounds, made shots, ran fast breaks, and we need to become more competitive on both ends of the court.”
