As the coach of Real Madrid explained after the game: “We talked at halftime that they cannot score 50 points in one half. I think it was a lot of one-on-one situations and we had to do a little bit more. Of course, it is a team defense but there were situations in which they were one on one. I think we worked hard with our second unit”.
Laso praised one of his players who is known about his offense: “I think Carroll did a great job on Jackson, trying to shut him down. He really tired him. We did a good job for 40 minutes, increased our defensive level in the second half and our big guys dominated a little bit the game, with Edy [Walter Tavares] and Felipe [Reyes] playing close to the basket. Happy for the victory.”
