POST-MATCH COMMENTS:

Velimir PERASOVIC, BC UNICS head coach:

«After a very bad game we played against Runa, we wanted to show our best face. I think today we approached the match much more responsibly and demonstrated better basketball on the court in Perm, where it is always very difficult to play. We played seriously, showed our talent and deserved to win.

What happened to Labery? He twisted his ankle. It's premature to say how serious his injury is».
