THEY LIVED HERE
Ike Smith (player) – “We knew that the first 2 games would be very difficult for us, it’s not for nothing that Forlì is the number 1 seed in the draw. In game 1 we conceded too many points in our area, we improved in game 2, but we still gave our opponents too many offensive rebounds and second opportunities. Game 3 will be do or die, we must leave all our energy on the pitch, putting aggression on every ball and to do this we must be connected to each other, helping each other”.
Notes – Lorenzo D’Alessandro is also out due to a sprained right ankle and Kristofers Strautmanis is out due to a tendon problem in his right ankle.

HERE FORLÌ
Antimo Martino (coach) – “Finding ourselves at 2-0 after the first two home games was our objective and this puts us in the best conditions and allows us to better prepare for game 3, which will be more difficult, having to play it away, and which will certainly present different contents compared to the two previous races. However, the team is in good condition and above all is showing great maturity and balance over the course of this series, so we are confident for the next race. Pollone’s situation will be evaluated in the hours leading up to the match.”
