Coach PRIFTIS. "A very tough match and a golden victory"

"It was a tough game where both teams played hard - this is how coach Priftis describes his team's success - our process to get to the victory was very long, because of the wrong way we started. Then, during the game, we progressively played with more energy and concentration. For us it is a very important success. The loss of Faried and Faye's fouls led us to invent particular quintets. I would like to underline the character and personality of Smith and Barford, who made difficult and decisive baskets in the final. Often in games it is episodes like these that make the difference, in the context of a match where both teams played a good game". Among the protagonists is Jamar Smith, who is finding his form again: "Thanks to the confidence in myself - he says - but above all in the daily work. It helped me to feel the confidence of the coach and my teammates".
