After the game against FC Barcelona Dusko Ivanovic said: "It was not our night. With the exception of the third quarter, we didn’t play the way I was expecting. In the first half, everything went wrong, especially under the boards, as Barcelona grabbed many offensive rebounds. Barcelona is one of the best Euroleague teams, with excellent players who know by memory how to play. If you allow them to play easy, it's suicide. We will meet them again in the Top 16 and we'll see what is going to happen. Tonight we had DeMarcus Nelson for the very first time on the court and this is one of the positive things. He will find his rhythm as the time goes by and he will help us a lot."
The coach of FC Barcelona noted: "We are happy with this win in a game which I think we dominated from the beginning until the end. It was hard for us to bounce back in the third quarter after the game was stopped for 45 minutes. After that, we managed to find our way. We did not have good minutes after the break but that could be considered normal. We are happy for the run we had in the regular season, finishing with good vibes. Our Top 16 group will be very tough because a lot of teams will play without much pressure. Those teams can do really well because they are really talented. The biggest teams will have a lot of pressure but most of the teams have the goal to make it to the playoffs. It will be a really tough group with a lot of talent and tradition."
