Coach Ivanovic’s postgame remarks: “The most important thing is to be ready for five games like tonight’s.”

Bologna –

After the win in Game 1 against Milano coach Dusko Ivanovic spoke in a press conference: “Against Milan, in the semifinals, it could not have gone differently. The most important thing is to be ready for such a game, five such games, with energy, patience. Akele? In general our defense was good, we also did quite well in rebounding and everyone put their best foot forward. Akele played well, Momo also, Will, Toko, Daniel, Pajo missed that shot but this is a team. Milan’s defense was top notch and that’s one of the reasons we lost balls but most of all, as I always say, patience was lacking at times.”
