The Ukrainian club won the fourth victory in the Eurocup
Prometheus head coach Ronen Ginzburg commented victory over the Romanian club Cluj-Napoca in the Eurocup.
“In the second half of the match, we played much better defensively, it started with attitude, not with decisions. We should do this more often. We play satisfactorily in attack, even without an outstanding percentage of long-range shots. Today our attack was also good. We need to improve the defense. I’m happy for the players. We’ve had a tough week as some of the players are injured, some of the players are sick. We went out and showed character.”
“The two most productive teams of the Eurocup played. Some team had to start playing defense in order to win this match. We started playing defense in the second half of the match. This starting five was because I wanted to protect some players from early fouls. It was important for me in the beginning that Clavell and Balvin played against Stipanovic because they know him a little better. It didn’t work very well. However, that is why we started with such a line-up.”
“I know Balvin from his work in the national team of the Czech Republic and I know his strengths. This is the game that I expect from him in almost every match. Also in defense. He helped us a lot. I had to change him, he couldn’t play 40 minutes like DJ Kennedy.”
“Hopefully, Sanon will be fine. He will pass the medical examination. The doctor takes care of him. We’ll find out later if the damage is serious.”
Recall that Prometheus beat Cluj-Napoca (105:82) in the match of the eighth round of the Eurocup group stage. This is the fourth victory of Prometheus in the Eurocup. Ginzburg’s team is fifth in the Group A standings.
Prometheus will play the next match in the Eurocup on December 21 on the road against Venice.
