Congratulations to everyone on the victory. We expected a tough game, emphasizing that Avtodor had been the league's best offensive rebounding team until today. We not only kept them from grabbing their average of 15 rebounds, but outrebounded them.
Despite a bad start, we kept playing our defense as planned, and gradually it paid off: our first run was at the end of the 2nd quarter; then, despite a poor start to the 3rd quarter, we won that stretch by a large margin. It was all thanks to our defense: good defense, dedication, and teamwork gave us the energy to play well in offense. Bravo to the guys; as a coach, I'm satisfied with today's game. I hope we get better with each game, and as our injured players return, the team will get in the shape we were hoping for before the season.
