Comments:
Ilias Papateodoru:
— Very challenging game. WEF - experienced team set to play, have a good team chemistry Riga. In the first half we had some problems with protection, it was not necessary interaction. Guests have adapted well and to our attacks. The big break in the locker room have discussed our actions and decided that we need to act more aggressively in defense. In the second half we coped with it, and what deserved to win.

The head coach of VEF Janis Gajlitis:
— We have not fulfilled the plan on the game, lost the shield and a pair of players act today is very passive. We had to win but could not even hold the match.

Victory! 66:64! Thank you all for your support!
