Sergio Gonzalez, Cuba - "We've played against them a lot of times before on NORCECA tournaments, so we pretty much knew what we had to do to keep the game under our control. It was a good game for us and our focus was on doing what we needed to do to win it".
Nivaldo Diaz, Cuba - "It helped a lot that we knew how to play them because of our previous meetings. We finished ninth in the last edition of the World Championships and hopefully we can do better this time".
Daneil Williams, Trinidad & Tobago - "There were a lot of nerves on the first game, but I think this time we did well. We got more used to the surroundings and realized that we had nothing to lose. Other than that, we knew what to expect from them. They are an excellent team, one of the best here, and we definitely represented our country in a proper way. I am happy about our performance".
