Coach Simone Pianigiani talked about the upcoming EuroLeague crucial home game against Maccabi Tel Aviv: “Maccabi with its full roster has been playing like a top-tier team. It’s great for our team to play this kind of game so late in the season, and with heavy standings implications. We need to dictate the tempo of the game, like we did in Tel Aviv, and feed off the crowd energy in order to play the outstanding game that it takes to beat Maccabi at this time of the season. We’ll have to protect the paint against their front-line of Alex Tyus, Tarik Black and Johnny O’Bryant, who hurt us a lot in the previous game, playing inside and out. We’ll have Tarczewski and Nedovic back, Nunnally is completing his adjustment and we are ready to compete. At this stage, we want to stay in the playoff hunt and gain confidence for the final stretch”.
