The first half of the first game showed us that we should not relax, and that we should not underestimate anyone. In Domžale, we have to play with a lot of energy, which we have been doing lately, especially for our games in the third quarter, and in this way make our way to the finals of the national championship.”
Edo Murić, player of Cedevita Olimpija:
“Certainly the Helios Suns proved in the first half of the first game that they are a good team that fights, plays good defense and has great scorers. Certainly, all the listed facts will come to the fore even more in their home hall. We know that we will have to give everything and more of ourselves in Domžale on Monday if we want to look forward to victory. We are aware that the road to the top is still long, and we still have a lot of work to do.”
