Bogdan Olteanu (Exprivia Molfetta): “Too bad for us in Game 3: we did not gave our best, we are better on the home turf, it is a constant for us in this season. We’ll play to force the series to Game 5, we want to reach Final Four. But for the moment we are focused on tomorrow’s game. We will have to be careful of everything on the court”.
Thomas Beretta (Gi Group Monza): “We’ll go to Puglia with the consciousness we could grab the win, with a great performance as we did in Game 3. On the home turf in front of their fans Exprivia is strong and intense, they will play until the end to force the series to Game 5. Will be important for us to keep up high the rhythm of the game, working on their confidence. We’ll try to close the series as soon as possible, to have some more day to prepare Final Four. We practiced very well in past days, we will give our best”.
