BC Roma Return to Winning Ways with 83-78 Win Over Ratiopharm Ulm

BC Roma returned to winning ways in a EuroCup game, beating Ratiopharm Ulm 83-78 on their home court. Coach Alessandro Magro said the result was important both for the standings and for the team's confidence.

Magro admitted that it was not a very enjoyable performance. He said his team committed 14 turnovers in the first half, some of which came without any opposing pressure. He said that in the second half, scoring production was not at the level the team is used to, and that Ulm's strong defense and effort had been effective in this.

Evaluating the performance of Gerald Ayayi, Magro said the young player had worked intensively on his three-point shooting and that its development would be important for his career. Noting that Ayayi was on the floor at both ends, the coach added that he is a rotation player and that planning for upcoming games is ongoing.

Finally, Magro said he felt the team was focusing too much on past mistakes. He said he wants players to look to the next possession and the future, and that the frustration shown when mistakes are made is justified, but that it was felt too strongly within the team.
