Brad GREENBERG
Avtodor Saratov Head Coach:

«Obviously it was very strong game for us after the first quarter. To have eight players score double figures is uniquely great. It doesn’t happen very often. It’s the kind of balanced scoring any coach would love to see. It's team basketball, hitting the open man and sharing the ball. I want my team to be balanced and have not to rely on one player. I am really proud of how our guys competed tonight. We worked hard and were the more aggressive team for longer periods of time. And it certainly helps when you make a lot of threes!

There were some problems playing defense in the first quarter, but we did a good job in offense scoring 27 points. Defense has become better in the second and third periods. At the same time, we made several tough threes. This allowed us to improve our lead. In the VTB league, we had some games where we didn’t score many points, like a 68-60 win over Kalev from Estonia. The last game was a 64-66 loss in Kazan. We showed three high-scoring games in Eurocup. Our team has better chances to score if we try to run. Because our strengthens are some perimeter players with their quickness and ability to attack. We want trying to run as much as we can and get some open shots in advantage situations like five-on-four, four-on-three, three-on-two, whenever we have an extra man in offense».
