Valencia Basket- Baxi Manresa post-game quotes: Pedro Martínez

"I think it was a very good basketball game. I also want to congratulate Manresa, who played amazingly. They didn’t give up and made 17 three-pointers. If someone had told me before the game that Manresa would make 17 threes, I would have thought the game would be very dangerous. Normally, you'd lose against a team with the best defense in the league, statistically speaking, from the entire first half of the season. And if they hit 17 threes, it means they played very well and scored a lot. They made 17 threes at a good percentage, but we played very well. We played at a great pace, even though they hit those 17 threes. I think we defended pretty well. We played with a lot of rhythm, running a lot, rebounding well, and defending their key players, who are very hard to defend. We should be happy because many players contributed, and they played well. Of course, you mention Stefan, but also Chris, Jaime, and Costello, who had an excellent first half. We played well, passing the ball well, looking for good shots, running in transition, and defending the full court. I think today we should be satisfied with how we played and also congratulate the opponent because they played very well. It’s a team that plays very similarly to us, which makes the basketball game a great show for the fans and for those watching on TV."
