“È it was an important victory against a strong team, a candidate for the Final Four and the final victory, so I congratulate the guys. We showed great cohesion in front of our owners and in front of the fans who came here and showed us the confidence that we now have to deserve, building on this victory”.
“In basketball you have to defend and we did that, we rebounded well against a very athletic and solid team, we dished out 22 assists which is a testament to how willing we were to pass the ball. È significant. We lost seven balls, few against such an athletic and aggressive team on defense”.
“When they came back in the fourth period, we continued to defend. They had come back shooting a lot of free throws because theyé were able to go into the area all the time. Then we were able to keep them a little bit’ more distant, forcing them to shoot from outside. When you shoot from outside sometimes you score and sometimes you don”.
