Brindisi overwhelmed, Frank Vitucci calls for change

Dinamo Sassari – Happy Casa Brindisi 111-93 (27-21/ 51-46/ 88-70)

Dinamo Sassari plays an extraordinary second half, scores 37 points in the third quarter, imposes a crazy pace on the match and knocks out Brindisi, which succumbs sharply 111-93. Sassari shoots over 60% from the field. Everyone contributes: on the rebound Gentile, deadly Jones, Kruslin and Bendzius. Very good Dowe in quintet with Robinson, who goes out with injury like Diop in the 3rd quarter. For Frank Vitucci, coach of Brindisi, the 150th bench in the Apulian club is truly bitter.

Speaking at a press conference at the end of the game, the guests’ coach did not look for too many excuses to comment on his team’s rout: “Absolutely negative game. In the first half we allowed too many offensive rebounds and second opportunities, while in the second half too many three-point shots were not countered properly. The third quarter was fatal, we suffered their characteristics losing individual confrontations, and we did not react with the same physicality and vehemence to the two shoves they gave us. We need a sudden change of focus and mentality to be put on the court,” Vitucci sentenced.
