This is what the protagonists of the game had to say after such a close deal down the stretch.
Post-Game Quotes: Virtus 91-72 Patras



Sergio Scariolo, Virtus Segafredo Bologna
"It was a tough one despite of the final score. As you know after watching the game, that was a pretty difficult one, especially the first half. We had a great start and then we didn't manage to keep the gap we built up. Unfortunately, our bench was not great in the first half as it was in the second half. I think the third quarter was really good. Defensively, we did a really good job. We tried to keep them away from our rim and force them to take contested shots at the end of their possessions. And then we opened this 15 point-gap, which was enough because the guys who were coming off the bench this time were very active, very energetic. They made some good plays offensively, too, and they really contributed with a really solid performance in the second half. I think that in such a balanced group like this one, every game is really important, and this one doesn't make any exception to this principle."

"First of all, congratulations to Virtus. They deserved to win the game. They played much better than us today. I am satisfied with the effort of my team, but for approximately 30 minutes, we were competitive. We lost our minds close to the end of the third quarter when Virtus created the difference. They have quality. They have a lot of good players and unfortunately, also during the game, we lost Agravanis. He couldn't play a lot in the second half. Now we have to be focused on the game we have against Panathinaikos [in the Greek League] and continue to do our job. Congratulations to the fans, the atmosphere was great. I wish Virtus all the best for the rest of this competition."
