Milano –
Coach Luca Banchi spoke in press conference after the game with Milano: “First of all I congratulate Milan, they started better than us and finished better than us. Unfortunately in the final our energy was not enough, Milan found some crucial plays that dug the furrow and made the difference. I congratulate Coach Fioretti on his first Euroleague win as head coach and wish Coach Messina a quick return. We were coming from a very tough game like the one against Bayern, in emergency and without Zizic who was there tonight but I obviously did not have the rhythm. We have a great desire to turn things around, in the end after games like these you are left with regrets and the weight and fatigue accumulated. At this level you compare yourself with the best talent in Europe, in a type of basketball that absorbs so much energy. We struggle to guarantee rest minutes to key players as it should normally be and not in an emergency situation like this.”
