A solid team performance, led by Donta Hall, Jaron Blossomgame, John Brown and the indispensable Mike James (17 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists), gave Sasa Obradovic’s men their sixth consecutive Euroleague win.
A great run in the Euroleague
“It was a great victory, a very solid collective and physical performance by the whole team, who showed remarkable commitment,” Sasa Obradovic said.
“It was our defence in particular that won us the match. There was a lot of joy in the changing room, it should give us even more confidence for what’s still to come, but we will need to keep the same mindset for the next few matches, that’s very important.”
The next match is at home to Red Star Belgrade on Thursday evening March 7 at 7 pm.
