Perugia made it 13 wins in a row in Ravenna’s sold-out PalaDeAndré arena.
Coach Bernardi : « I had told the boys it would be difficult and not only because they were coming off a superb win over Modena. They might have a little less pressure against the big teams and they have always done a great job. My players did a great job of getting back in the second to win it, that was a big key to this victory ».
Atanasijevic : « They have a strong team. Our come-back in the second set was key – he confirmed – Our coach had told us that we would have needed 14 players to win this one and he was right. Aaron (Russell) and Buto (Buti) made the difference when they came on ».
