Germany Point Guard Steffen Hamann:
"This was a very tough game. The first half was very good for us, we were satisfied until the very half. No time to let the heads down."

Germany Head Coach Dirk Bauermann:
"In the third quarter Dirk was obviously tired. We have two more games so there was no need to keep him on the floor all the time. Serbia is going to be extremely tough because they are very well coached."

France Forward Florent Pietrus:
"We did a very good job. We are very happy."

France Head Coach Vincent Collet:
"We wanted to slow Germany down so that not everybody could score. Offensively we were still strongly dependent on Tony. But we were way better in the 2nd half. The final score could be a little better."
