“I think we presented ourselves the last games always better, but we allowed 21 offensive rebounds, and that gave them so many second chances”, ratiopharm Ulm head coach Anton Gavel acknowledged in the press conference. “Defensively we collapsed a couple of times, we were miscommunicated, and allowed easy buckets for the Brescia team.”
