Xavier Pascual, Zenit BC Head Coach:
Congratulations to UNICS on having a wonderful season this year. It was a very good game for all basketball fans. After the first quarter, it was very difficult for us, as we trailed for some time. The equal game continued until the end of the third quarter, when we seized the initiative. UNICS continued to resist and maintained the intrigue until the end of the game. We were more careful in the very end and got such an important victory.
