So Devon's defense was great. Before that, Wade going three for three was also very important. We did a great job, the details were decisive in the last part.
In the last moments we were better than them in the details and that's why we won. We played as a team and we defended and that's the most important thing."
SARAS CHARACTER WIN
After the win over Barcelona, Fenerbahce Beko coach Saras Jasikevicius said: "Another incredible character win for the guys. This is the reason why they are champions."
