<strong>Ramaz Gogoberishvili – Rustavi head coach:</strong>

“We all know, that Rustavi is a very strong team. Our players couldn’t make it in defense and offense wasn’t satisfying too. We need to necessarily improve these components. I congratulate Olimpi on this victory. On our side, we will try to get more qualified for the next game.”

<strong>Davit Rogava – Olimpi coach:</strong>

“Of course, I’m satisfied with the result, but not the quality of the game. We knew, that it would be a difficult game, Rustavi had only 2 losses in the current championship. After the FIBA window, our team had only 4 trainings and we were not ready for today’s match. But, fortunately, everything ended up with our victory. We will try to improve the gaps we had.”
