Thus coach Marco Ramondino at the end of the race: “The match was led by Pesaro from start to finish, we give credit to them for having deserved the victory for the intensity, content and presence they had. We were not very clear and brilliant, we struggled to get things done, there was little energy: it was a mix of aspects that we were missing. The match was decidedly influenced in the first half by our inability to be present in some defensive possessions which cost us 8-10 points in the final seconds of the actions. In the last two games we have little energy to draw on, we can get out of it by trying to do intelligent weekly management, resisting and relying on the character of our players who I'm sure will give us answers.".
