Comment
Enisey head coach Drazen Anzulovic:
“That’s a big dissapointment for us. We had a chance to win in some seconds, but lacked intellectual strength to do it. We fought and played defense better than last games, but it’s hard to win with 24 turnovers.”

“We’re glad to beat the opponents who are close to us in the standings. It could be easier, it’s a shame we couldn’t maintain the lead. We’re really glad to win, I’m glad with the guys: the fought and performed the game plan.”
