Olimpia Milano ko in Madrid, Ettore Messina holds on to basket difference

Ettore Messina spoke to EuroLeague TV microphones after the home loss to Real Madrid: “Our first quarter affected the whole game- We had good moments at the beginning of the third period, even for quite long stretches.”
“After some rotations we still went under, but the second unit allowed us to come back and contain the point difference, which could still be important.”
“We will focus on the next game, but we expect a much better start in terms of personality, courage, physicality. These are aspects you cannot concede at this level”.
