Coach Paolo Galbiati commented the success of his team as follows: "In the first half we suffered their great physicalityà and the high shooting percentages of their offense: we asked the team to stay thereì with the head and continue to fight and play our basketball, we came back and throughout the second half è it was a long back-and-forth. In the final it’was solved by the play of a great player".

"We leave the Forum happy becauseé there’è was a good spirit, good involvement of everyone, great attention on what we had prepared. In two days we will be called upon to repeat ourselves. A special mention for captain Forray, a dragging man and player for this group of young" concluded Galbiati.
