Baxi Manresa- Valencia Basket post-game quotes: Xavi Albert

“First of all, congratulations to Baxi Manresa. They played a great game, with its importance in the fight to get into the Playoffs. We are not going to say that every game is a final but you practically have to assume it that way in this type of key games. They have entered the game much better with the things they do well, they have a very recognizable game and they have managed to impose it in many moments of the game. We came from three wins in a row and it is no excuse that today we lacked a more focused entry on the points we needed but the initial impact of the game was seen in the first sets. The things that Manresa does well have imposed themselves on what we have been doing well. There are two imposing pieces of information in the evolution of the game, such as the offensive rebound, where they have done an exceptional job and we have not only needed to control it but also be clear about all the actions that are necessary to be able to dominate it. And the turnovers, in the initial moment, the pressure of Manresa trying to deny the return to our point guard when they have not stolen the ball from us have made it difficult for us to find our rhythm and structure our attack. They are two fundamental things to try to win here at Congost. A final rush equalized it and in the final situations we were not able to finish it off and take the win”
