“In the playoffs there is no time to waste, once a game is over you have to immediately reset and look at where you went wrong and where you can do better– said Vitali to the official channels of the City of Tricolor club, presenting the second challenge -. Our head is already at game-2: we have to file down some small details that can make the difference”.

“We will have to be good at not conceding back-to-back baskets to them, and we did that for most of the game, but something got away from us – added the 1991-class basketball player -. Playoffs are special, always very exciting and never a given. It’s great to be there and to be a part of it, but we don’t want to stop here. We believe in ourselves and in what we do and tomorrow night we will try to overturn the court factor”.

Reggiana is in the playoffs thanks to seventh place in the regular season, with an overall record of 18 wins and 12 losses for 36 total points.
