As the head coach of Darussafaka Dogus said, he and his players are well aware of what they must do in order to take a victory in Madrid. However, putting this knowledge into action won’t be easy.
“In a playoff series like this, no two games are the same,” said Blatt. “Both teams have the opportunity to review, to make adjustments and to prepare anew for the next game. We know what a quality team Real is. We also know the things we must do better in order to gain the small difference that was in yesterday’s game. But knowing and doing are two different things. We must do as well as know. That’s our goal tomorrow.”
Real Madrid won Game 1 last night (19/4) more narrowly than what the final 83 – 75 shows thanks to Sergio Llull’s 23 points plus some crucial points down the stretch. Blatt cited his players’ inexperience as a key factor behind the defeat.
