On how he feels after defeating a title contender on the road, coming back from a 16-point deficit:

I am happy because we defeated a great team, which has a lot of history and has had an amazing season so far. It is great to win at this arena, one of the hardest courts in Europe.

We just made our shots, after missing a lot of shots in the first half. We stopped being nervous and start being more effective offensively.

On whether such wins help Valencia build confidence and maintain a plaoff push:

Every victory is important. We don’t have a lot of history in the EuroLeague, we have in the EuroCup, but not in the EuroLeague, but every win helps us build confidence, play our best basketball and make fans happy.

On prevailing on the road over powerhouses like Olympiacos and Anadolu Efes:

It is not easy to win on the road. We did an amazing job, but we should take it game-after-game and keep fighting for the playoffs.
