Coaching staff:
„We lacked aggressiveness in defense during the first half and we gave a lot of avoidable free throws to our opponent. We were down ten points at halftime (33-43). The boys arrived with great motivation in the second half and they managed to pick up the score in the middle of the third quarter by making outside shots and by getting defensive stops but we were not able to hold this energy the whole game. »
