Xavi Pascual: "In the last part of the game we could play better defense"

Zenit head coach Xavi Pascual commented on the game with Uralmash (72:78) and noted the key moments in each quarter of the match.

— Okay, one game that we start more or less how we were expecting. With some difficulties in defense, but more or less we had control of the game until the minute 13−14. After that, when we had 8 points advantage and Poythress was under the basket, and then we complained foul over there. We started to lose the concentration in the game. The match became completely different from this moment. All the rest of the quarter was for Uralmash. The third quarter was more or less equal until the last action. The beginning of the last quarter was for Ural nice and clear, but in the last part of the game we could play better defense, better offence and we came in the last minutes with this advantage that finally was the key of the game.
