"It is one of the biggest wins in the history of our club, even more than those we had against CSKA or Partizan Belgrade. Beating Uxue Bilbao Basket in this Arena, in front of its fans, is a better and more valuable victory."

Coach of Bilbao Basket, Fotios Katsikaris

"Nymburk played its best as a team, leveraging our poor defense. Now we must do the best we can in the coming games. It's a very difficult group. Riga yesterday warned Valencia and was close to winning, and today we saw Nymburk in Bilbao. We must regain our team play and win in Riga."
