Dobrić Reflects on the Season

- It's hard to single out one aspect of this. We haven't played well; our performance over the past two months has been poor. We ended the ABA League season poorly, and it's a shame. We had a better situation in the EuroLeague, and we could have had a better position in the ABA League regular season, aiming to reach the final or win the title through home games. But what is done is done. We need to focus on the remaining competition and try to win the trophy. Two trophies would make this season successful.

Unexpected Substitution

- I don't know how to comment on it. At that moment, I felt good on the court, and the crowd was surprised when I came out. That's the coach's decision; I didn't discuss it with him. It was probably unpleasant for him too. But the audience felt that moment when they started chanting my name. That's the coach's decision, and we have to play with that.

The players chanted his name when Coach Saša Obradović substituted him out of the game. It was a surprising moment for everyone involved.

The final will be a crucial match, and Partizan will aim to secure the ABA League title.
