Dusko Ivanovic tough: "No excuses, lacked character"

“We did not have much time to prepare and rest, but there are no excuses. It is a lack of team character that is the explanation for the defeat”: Dusko Ivanovic is hard on his own at the end of the game lost in Vitoria to Baskonia.

“When we were there, with a defense that was prepared as we had planned they made us a basket with a foul; then we missed and they scored a triple. At that point it became difficult for us to recover. I think in general we lacked a little more energy to have a chance to win the game: we couldn&#8221t keep up with their pace and we didn”t show ourselves ready over the 40 minutes.

adds the Virtus coach.

“When I come to Vitoria I feel like home and when I enter this arena I feel a special emotion. I thank the whole audience very much for the applause they give me. It”s a special court, city and club for me” Ivanovic concludes.
