This was further stated by Jasikevicius:
,We are saying that we have many ups and downs here. But I believe in this team a lot, what if you have to show it on the track. Some players are not at their best. I. We need more consistency to win something big.
We’ve been very strong throughout the game, we’ve played what we wanted to. Maybe on defense, we could have done better in the first quarter and then with a few more fouls that we didn’t commit. I am happy because we are doing consistently well in the long run of the game which we have been lacking till now. You have to do a lot right to win here.”
