WHAT DID SARAS SAY?
Fenerbahce Beko Coach Sarunas Jasikevicius said before Game 2:
"We have to keep playing disciplined basketball like we did in the first game. We need to understand that Zalgiris will come out to react. We have to make some corrections in the things we didn't do well and hopefully we can continue to do the things we did well in the first game."
