Scariolo: “We did a good job for 28 minutes but couldn't maintain continuity”
“We were 12 points ahead and in three minutes we lost 18 points,” the coach explained after the defeat in Dubai.
Sergio Scariolo analyzed the game played by Real Madrid against Dubai Basketball, corresponding to round 27 of the Euroleague: “We knew it was a great team, full of great players. Two of the decisive players today, Musa and Caboclo, were returning from injuries. We played great basketball for 28 minutes. We were 12 points ahead with two minutes left in the third quarter. But in three minutes, we lost 18 points. From leading by 12 to trailing by 6. From there, it was an even finish where we exchanged baskets.”
“They have very good one-on-one players, but we started the game implementing our plan perfectly until two minutes before the final quarter. Then, we couldn't continue the good work we had done during that time.”
Playing in Dubai
“The atmosphere has been amazing. We were provided with all the facilities. Everything has been very good. Obviously, the trip is long but also for them, as they have to do it much more frequently than any other team.”
