Perugia came away from the PalaValentia gym with a win too. Vibo Valentia failed once more to perform in front of its home crowd. It played to the maximum of its possibilities only in the second, while it lost a big lead in the third.

“We’ve definitely improved our game compared to recent outings – said sport director Giovanni Torchio – but we’re still finding it difficult in attack with too many ups and downs, and in the end we pay the price. We can have some spell at a very high level and then fail to handle the difficult situations. We really have to improve in attack because without this you can’t win a game”.
