The coach of AX Armani Exchange Olimpia Milano said after the win over Baskonia: “I think that tonight, in the first 33 minutes, we played maybe our best game in the EuroLeague. We played excellent basketball on defense and offense, moving the ball to have the right distribution for everybody’s shots. And then we stopped a little bit in the last seven minutes, but Baskonia is a great team and this is something that can happen. We were a little in a panic because we lost many games that he led for two or three quarters, but this is a very important victory for us.”
On the other hand, coach Pedro Martinez didn’t like the effort of his team, despite the last minutes’ comeback: “They played better than us. Our approach, our intensity was not what they had to be in the first half. I’ll take the way we recovered so many points in the second half as a good sign but they played better.”
