Following the victory over Cholet (92-90) in this 31st day of Betclic ELITE, Coach Tuomas Iisalo was keen to highlight the exemplary behavior of his players in a difficult game.
“Firstly, I have to say that Cholet played extremely well. They had a very clear game plan and they executed it very well. For a long part of the game, they outplayed us, something that hasn’t happened often this season. In the fourth quarter and in overtime, to have that attitude to find a way to win, that’s what we try to do every day in training. But at the same time, we’ve realized that players aren’t machines, they’re first and foremost human beings. Everyone has bad days. Today (Wednesday), I felt that several players weren’t moving as well as usual, which made us very slow in several phases of the game. But once again, I’m extremely proud of the guys,” explained our coach Tuomas Iisalo.
