Sassari –
Coach Sergio Scariolo spoke in a press conference after the game with Sassari: “Game not of great quality but I am very happy with the victory and the response of the team. For us it was a match with a very high difficulty coefficient, because of the opponent, the court factor and because just less than 24 hours ago we were in Madrid. It took us a while to commit to the maximum, we told each other at halftime. An excellent third quarter defensively, with a positive contribution from quite a number of players Positive night. We struggled a bit under the basket but we held the perimeter well-Sassari scores 90 points easily at home and we held them under 70 points and that’s why we also played with different quintets. Managing? Managing doesn’t exist, it’s not easy to play after winning in Madrid, I understand that, because maybe you have a wrong feeling of strength. We have to learn that every time you start from scratch, against opponents who have the whole week to prepare the game. Every game you have to make choices, in the first half by my choice we don’t want to open the rotations to more than 10 players, in the second half then you need everyone. I am happy with Belinelli and Mannion’s response, they played a serious game and helped the team win.”
