Emanuele Molin broke down the numbers and attitude that helped his team rally past Cedevita.
'Aggressive' Reyer found a way in the 4th quarter

Sometimes it's easy to look at the box score and understand a game. Other times it helps for a coach to break it down. Such is the case with Umana Reyer Venice's come-from-behind 95-87 victory over Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana on Tuesday.
"I think they were shooting the first three quarters close to 50% [on three-pointers] and they ended the game with 34," Reyer assistant coach Emanuele Molin said of Cedevita after the game. Molin coached the team this week with head coach Neven Spahija ill.
Indeed, Cedevita made half of its 16 attempted threes through the game's first 30 minutes, but missed all 7 of their threes in the fourth. Meanwhile, Reyer made 5 of 7 three-pointers (71.4%) in the game's last 8 minutes after shooting 8 for 30 (26.7%) before that. Barry Brown and Rayjon Tucker each made 2 of those fourth-quarter threes for Reyer.

"We struggled for more than 30 minutes. We could not find our rhythm offensively or defensively," Molin said. "There is one stat that is pretty impressive for me. We shot 37 times from the three-point line. This means which kind of aggressiveness we had in the first three quarters.
"In the meantime, the team had the capability to stay focused and find the right chemistry and make some defensive adjustments. We raised our aggressiveness, to be more aggressive defensively, and we found a lot of options offensively."
That aggressiveness on defense led to 5 turnovers forced in the fourth quarter. Those turnovers resulted directly in 7 points, including the game-tying basket by Brown with 2:24 remaining. The hosts made 6 of 8 two-pointers (75%) in the final 10 minutes, with several of those scores coming in transition.
Reyer had started pressing Cedevita already in the third quarter with mixed results. But in the fourth, the momentum turned, as did Reyer's shooting. And suddenly a game that Cedevita had controlled for 34 minutes was heading in a different direction.
