"Well, it was amazing. A lot of guys stepped up tonight. It was a tough game, a huge battle from the entire team, and in the end, everything worked out."

Despite the absences of Johnathan Motley and Ebuka Izundu, Zvezda's squad stepped up in makeshift roles to plug the gaps—something the hero in Villeurbanne was quick to praise.

"Yeah, we've got guys who can play multiple positions, and that's a real advantage for us. We just have to keep playing as a team." — Chris Jones

"Yeah, but I think our scouting report was solid and we played good defense overall." — Chris Jones
