The Italian coach stressed his pride in a group that competed until the final possession and even had a three-point attempt to tie the game.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2063\" data-end=\"2355\">\u201cI am very proud of the game we played, of how we prepared it and how we competed. The game was decided by small details, we missed a three-pointer to tie it,\u201d Scariolo said. \u201cWe are sad because we came here to win and we were ahead for more time. But we leave with our heads held very high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2357\" data-end=\"2707\">On the officiating, Scariolo chose caution: \u201cI don\u2019t know, with this atmosphere you have to factor something in. It is better to review the game and wait a little before drawing a conclusion on that too.\u201d He later added: \u201cI don\u2019t want to touch the refereeing topic. In these circumstances, you know you have to pay a small tax, whether small or big.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2709\" data-end=\"3135\">The coach pointed to rebounding as one of the key factors: \u201cThe 16-rebound difference is huge, but even so we missed the three-pointer to tie it. We did many very good things to compensate for the tremendous physical deficit that existed.\u201d On the team\u2019s mental response, he said: \u201cI made sure we didn\u2019t drop our heads too much, because there is no reason to do so. The more you lower it, the longer it takes to lift it again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3137\" data-end=\"3286\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sergio Scariolo defended his team\u2019s performance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":498245,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[199],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-498246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/ASRge5eK.png","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/498246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=498246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/498246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/498245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=498246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=498246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=498246"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=498246"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=498246"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=498246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
