«Winning was the icing on the cake of what had been achieved the previous season. We are very happy for the team, for the fans and for the fact that the club continues adding titles. With this Intercontinental, we take a new step forward. And of course we remember many colleagues who are no longer here, and who are participants in this success. We have shown to be a competitive Canary Islands, which aspires to the maximum each season. Winning, somehow we put the Island on the world map.

“This is a great kit. I am very happy to be a part of it; we were and are fair champions. At one point it was very difficult for us to flow, but we unlocked the game and beat Sao Paulo with solvency. We were good on defense throughout the game, controlling their best players, and it was my turn to excel in the last quarter. I’m not saying it out of commitment, but we win and lose as a team; and today [por ayer] We prove it again.”
Jaime Fernandez.
«Very happy for this title. The Intercontinental must be given the value that it has and everything that it represents. We are here because of last year’s victory in the Champions League. It is a conquest that makes the team, me personally and all the fans very excited. I don’t even believe the year I’m having to live. In any race there are difficult moments, so I propose to enjoy this sweet moment to the fullest. I dedicate it to the fans of Tenerife, who can breathe and feel and enjoy good basketball here.”
Sasu Salin.
«We have done a good performance first in the semifinals and then in the final. We have played with confidence, but also making use of our experience in big championships. It is a title that tastes very good, and that at no time was easy. The key is to be together for three seasons. We exchange some players from year to year, but unity is the secret. I remember those who are not there, but also the family, the people… This title belongs to everyone».
Marcelinho Huertas.
“It feels? Very happy. We have worked a lot to achieve this victory. The difference at the end does not show how hard the match was. They have tightened after going twenty down, they have gotten back into the final and there have been complications, with moments in which the shots did not go in. Fortunately we have been able to celebrate another title with our people and in our pavilion. The key to this Lenovo, no matter how much people or the media can talk about a single name, we have players who contribute in all facets and on both sides of the field. We will always be competitive, whatever the rival. We are always going to win, regardless of the competition.”
