“First of all, I would like to congratulate the fans, the management, and the players. One of our main goals in defense was to calm the game down, to slow down the tempo. It wasn’t very successful for us towards the end. But what was important for us was that Jamal Bey and Stefan Kenich returned after injuries. Although they still had some problems, they showed character and played well. After making a number of meaningless mistakes in the first half, we played better in the second half. But overall, I can say that it is very important for Azerbaijan to be represented in a tournament like the FIBA ​​Europe Cup with two clubs and with very high quality. This also shows that Azerbaijani basketball is on the right track.”
