"Congratulations to the Macedonian team, they did a really good job. Our opponents were able to create a situation very convenient to them, and then score the most important shots - of course, we somehow let them do that, but we have to admit - they played really well tonight" - the coach stated.

Also K. Kemzūra was very unhappy about his team's rebounds: "we had lots of chances to get much more rebounds at the first half, but we didn't manage to do that and we were punished for that".
