“We feared this game a lot – reads Bologna Basket -. Mestre came from an excellent game played in Pistoia, so we had a lot of respect for what they are doing. Then our objective difficulties, with the absence of Moore. Hence the choice of a very restraining zone defense to avoid foul problems given the limited rotations in the exteriors and their very dynamic way of playing. So we closed the area well and grabbed rebounds, and good at closing down what there was to close down.”

“Their percentages from outside were not excellent, while we had an excellent Sorokas but also other players in double figures: kudos to the guys, there were only a few of us, it was difficult, it was a midweek but they cared so much given also the desire to give satisfaction to our public,” adds the seasoned coach.
