Comments by Giannis Kastritis following Dolomiti Energia Trentino-Pallacanestro Openjobmetis Varese:
“It was definitely a tough loss to swallow, especially given how it unfolded. We played below our potential in the first half, particularly on defense. In the second half, however, we managed to fight back strongly, especially in the fourth quarter, when we took the game one possession at a time, managing to close the gap and get back in the game. Obviously, when a game comes down to the wire, it’s the little things that make the difference. I’m not just referring to the final possessions, but to all the mistakes made over the course of the forty minutes: missed free throws, offensive rebounds given up to our opponents, and turnovers were all decisive factors in the outcome. We need to keep working to improve these areas and prevent certain mistakes from happening again. We now have an important week of training ahead of us, which we’ll need to make the most of to prepare for Saturday’s game against Rome».
