Scariolo: “We came out on top in a very important game”
“The start of the third quarter I think was our best moment,” explained the coach after the victory against Partizan.
Sergio Scariolo analyzed the victory of Real Madrid on Partizan Belgrade's court. The coach said: "It was an important victory, in an incredible atmosphere as much as, or even more, from what I am told, during the epic clashes between these two teams. That is why it is very valuable to have regained full control of our nerves and the situation this time after experiencing four bad minutes in the third quarter."
“The start of the third quarter I think was our best moment. The first half was good, and at the end of the third, we had little patience, entered the paint less, and committed few fouls. We need to use our fouls better, but then we managed to regain our presence and, I repeat, in an extremely challenging atmosphere. The final decisions were good, and we managed, fully on merit, to come out on top in a very important game.”
