Euroleague, Virtus with Edwards folds Barcelona. Ivanovic: "Always in control"

Virtus Bologna overcame Barcelona 85-80 in the Euroleague game valid for the 29th round.

With this victory, the Emilians interrupted a series of three consecutive defeats, moving up to 14th position in the standings. Among the best of the match Edwards with 22 points and Smailagic with 19, top scorer Punter (27 points) was not enough for the Catalans.

After the game Dusko Ivanovic expressed himself this way: “We played the game we had to play, playing aggressive defense and always looking for transition as soon as we could. We also passed the ball well”.

“We controlled the match except in the end when we lost four consecutive balls. Why didn&#8217t we always defend like that? Every match is different, every opponent is different, then playing every other day can create problems, but that is what you have to do if you want to compete for certain goals”.
