They said: "First of all, I want to congratulate Tenerife on this deserved win," said Boris Barac. "We played okay first half. We were there, but in the third quarter, they scored some transition threes which at the end, decided the game."

"In my opinion, they [Tenerife] are the best team in the group and they deserve to win, and I wish them good luck not just in this group, but forward in the Champions League," said Szombathely head coach Milos Konakov. "In the first 20 minutes, we were really precise and followed our plan, especially defensively because we know this type of team, if you made easy mistake and they punish, they can be a problem for you."

"I'm proud of our team because we came out in the second half really strong, and we killed it in the second half," said Wiltjer. "So, we're just glad to get the win and be the group leader. That was our goal coming in to this second round. ... Before the game, I usually have pregame pancakes every morning and I forgot to have pancakes this morning and my wife actually woke me up and made me have my pregame pancakes. I feel like we got this win because of the pregame pancakes."

"It was a tough game during the first 20 minutes," said Tenerife head coach Txus Vidorretta. "We needed to change many things in the second half especially our aggressiveness and our condition in the paint. Doing this and with a great percentage from three-point line, finally we made a very good result."
