Zvezda is in the playoff hunt, currently ninth in the standings with two rounds remaining.

I think every win is a step in the right direction. We've played great all season. This is the most wins Zvezda has had in its history, and we'll continue to fight to make more history. We'll enjoy tonight, and tomorrow we wake up and this game is over.Kodi Miller-McIntyre

The players celebrated with the fans in the stands.

The feeling was great. I think it was important that, for the first time in two years, we went and celebrated with the fans at the last home game of the regular season. Being with them, feeling that energy... I think everyone enjoyed it, and it was nice to connect with them on that level.Kodi Miller-McIntyre

The American didn't understand the question about his favorite fan song, so he initially responded "Leave me alone," before correcting himself:

- Na, na, na, na, Zvezda šampion!

When a journalist pointed out that Olympiacos is mentioned in the second part of the song, he admitted he wasn't aware, then commented on recent rumors linking his name to the red-and-whites from Piraeus.

I have no comment on that. My focus is on the next two games. Everyone knows the situation, I'm a free agent this summer, so I don't think I need to focus on that or talk about it. You are journalists, you write everything, both good and bad, for the last two seasons. Keep writing whatever you want, and at the end of the season, we'll see.Kodi Miller-McIntyre

Besides him, Chima Moneke stood out with 21 points and nine rebounds, and Ognjen Dobrić contributed 19 points in the victory.
