Milano –
These are the words of coach Luca Banchi at the end of the game against Milano: “It’s a defeat that leaves a lot of bitterness in the mouth because of the opportunities we had to win a game that we were good at interpreting in the initial approach, except then to lose the inertia of the game a bit between the second half of the second quarter and the beginning of the third, only to find the flow and rhythm of our game again on a night that was not easy where you could feel the fatigue and the little time available to recover. We had been good at taking the game to the levels I hoped we might be more comfortable with. In the final point-to-point the recriminations are many, looking at the numbers it’s a contest closed with 10 more points in rating, with more rebounds, more shots from the field, more assists, fewer lost balls than our opponents, more recoveries. It’s obvious that it’s special to have to talk about a defeat that with more care of some details we could have avoided and that Milan was better than us to snatch in the final point-to-point.”
