Zoran Lukic’s players lost to Samara in overtime with a score of 77:78 on Friday in Moscow.
— Can we say that we relaxed in the fourth quarter? I don’t know, but it’s absolutely certain that we missed a lot of free throws, which influenced the result. After that, Samara felt confident and returned to the game. It’s the little things that make all the difference, and in this match Samara deserved the victory a little more.
Of course, any defeat is unpleasant. Especially when you play for the national team. We really wanted to win and tried everything to achieve it, but unfortunately we failed. But I am sure that this defeat will be a lesson for us for the future and that it will be beneficial to us. After all, we have a young team and we are currently preparing for official competitions. And this training camp and this game will only be a plus for our team, because we saw what we need to work on and what our weaknesses and strengths are.
