Following a massive Game 2 brawl in Madrid, Hanga underlined that the hostile Stark Arena environment in Game 3 is not going to be a problem for him.

"I like the hellish atmosphere," he said. "Not so long ago, we were forced to play in empty gyms, and it was very strange. I like it when there are a lot of people at basketball games. We recently played in Belgrade [Round 32], and it was incredible.

"We want to show that we are capable of turning this series around. It's a do-or-die game for us. We have to focus on our basketball. If we play with discipline and toughness, we can win. We want to reach Game 5."

Hanga then commented on the events that happened last Thursday at WiZink Center.

"What has happened is something that everyone regrets, all the players," he stressed. "We spoke with Partizan players at the end of the game. We have to play basketball. I have played many games in Hungary, which has a very similar atmosphere to Belgrade. EuroLeague guarantees our security."

After an infamous fight, Guerschon Yabusele was sanctioned with a 5-game suspension. Kevin Punter was handed a 2-game suspension, while Mathias Lessort and Gabriel Deck will miss one game.

"The two teams will have to play something different, but in the end, the team is not one or two players, and we have many players who can step up," Hanga concluded.

The Partizan-Real Game 3 is scheduled to start at 20:30 CEST.
