A lot of people and a lot of noise in a sold-out PalaEvangelisti arena. Perugia’s final roar resounded all over the city when Petric smashed down the winning point that got Perugia the 3-2 victory and a deciding 5th game in Piacenza. This was the third tie-break in the Series, which confirms how tight it is between the two clubs.
MVP: Vujevic
Fabio Fanuli (Sir Safety Perugia): “In such an atmosphere we just couldn’t lose. I have never seen that many people pushing for you that way. The game was a battle against a great team, but our will and our character came out tonight. Game 5? Of course we have our chance. Then, the result is always decided on court”.
Luca Tencati (Copra Elior Piacenza): “Tonight, it was confirmed, but we already knew it, Perugia is a top quality team. The game, just like the whole series, has been very tight. We have the last game at home, which represents a little advantage. It will be another battle, and we’ll be ready for it”.
