"We faced this game with the right mentality and intensity, even with some defensive mistakes. My players were very concrete, above all with the three-point shots. We managed to have an important turnover: Aradori has started to play again, and Rullo took his chance to make an excellent performance. This game was very essential for us, because we are closer to advancing from the first round. We keep thinking that each game is important and we try to win them all; but we also know that a mistake would not compromise the goal."

"First of all, I would like to congratulate Cantu for this victory. We didn't follow our gameplan defensively, and didn't consider that Cantu has got great three-points-shooters. My players didn't help each other and left too much space to Cantu's attack. A big difference was certainly the timing of game execution: we even managed to do the right thing, but too slowly, which made us lose the advantage we'd gained. I think this is a very tough group: Cantu deserves the top place, but the situation may change."
