Partizan is unstoppable! T.J. Jekiri: "A miracle happened"; Carlik: "Heart — we never gave up"

They were shorthanded, yet still managed to win...

“I think we played well, but at the same time we struggled a little, especially in the third quarter. It’s always difficult to play on this court, but with the support of our fans, we managed to win and turn things around in our favor.”

Three games, three wins

“We haven’t done anything special. We’re playing basketball, representing this club and this jersey in the best way we can. There are some things we need to improve, especially details on defense. It’s still early. We have a lot of work to do. We need to keep the chemistry at a high level.”

A lot of steals...

“Pajola did a great job tonight, great defense. He’s one of the best defensive players in the EuroLeague.”

Did it feel like a home game?

“Yes, there were a lot of fans and they were loud. It’s great to have them here supporting us, and we just need to give something back to them. The next game is against Real Madrid. It will be difficult; they still haven’t won, but we’re playing at home. We have to keep our heads up and keep working.”
