Bologna –
Coach Scariolo spoke at the press conference after the game against Trento: “Great first half, bad second half, especially in offense where we often lost the thread. In the last few games we spent a lot of mental energy and we struggled to get going during the game. Let’s take for excellent, not good, this win in the economy of the championship at a time when every team is fighting for a goal. Every game is a battle and a new chapter. In the overtime we resumed playing as we know how on offense, conceding only 5 points on defense. What we have always shown is that we are a team, that’s for sure: sometimes it happens that an individual performance can take away energy and this must not happen. It is necessary to understand the different moments of a game and contribute all to the final victory. 19 assists for us is a very low number and 5 of them only in overtime after we had found 5 in the second half. He did some good things, his job is to be ready when he is called upon: he is a part of this team and I would like to see him more and more involved in things that win games. The important thing is for him to be ready, just as Tessitori did quite well tonight.”
