Congratulations to the team, we opened the series with a win, we lead 1-0 against a great team. We took control of the game after the second quarter, in the third we dominanated, defended well, played smart offense against very good UNICS defense. Eight minutes before the end we were leading, if I’m not mistaken, by 22 points and wanted the end the game before the end. But I don’t want to talk about it: we were 32, even 35 minutes much better on the floor, we controlled the boards, defended. The series continues and we know it won't be easy. Thanks to the fans who have created a great atmosphere today.
