Coach Scariolo’s words on the eve of Milan’s game: “Tomorrow’s game is undoubtedly a game with a very high difficulty coefficient, probably without any particular significance that it would have had in normal conditions. Both teams are going through an atypical moment even though we think it could be a good opportunity for Italian basketball given the presence of certain players, despite everything. A hard fought and entertaining match, an occasion not to be missed for both teams. From a technical point of view, the control of rebounds and the quality of the ball will be very important and will determine the pace of the game. We are playing against a team that has very good defenders and experienced players. We will have to be very careful not only to defend on their strengths, but on offense to move the ball well, creating high percentage shots and reducing the number of lost balls as much as possible.”
