Scariolo: “We are in a good position but we still need one more win”
“In the second half, we were more consistent and constant, and we were able to utilize the good physical condition we came in with,” added our coach.
Sergio Scariolo spoke to the media following Real Madrid's victory against Hapoel Tel Aviv in the second game of the EuroLeague playoffs: “We are in a good position, but we still need one more win. In the playoffs, winning by a little or a lot doesn't change much. Obviously, we are happy with the game we played without Tavares, to whom I send a big hug. He has been present, even in his absence. His teammates made an extra effort to make up for the great void he leaves. But today it worked for us, and now we'll see about the next games away against a team we know well. We know they have a lot of talent and scoring ability.”
“In the first half, our defensive intensity was a bit inconsistent. We had good moments and bad moments. In the second half, we were more consistent and constant, and we were also able to utilize the good physical condition we came in with. We are up 2-0, but here 3-0 is what counts. Stranger things have been seen, so we need to keep our heads fully in this playoff.”
