Magro: Lack of composure cost us the game

BC Roma lost 110-103 away to Varese. The match was a tight contest in which both teams played at a fast pace and the lead changed hands many times. The home side finished the third quarter on top but could not win the game.

Head coach Magro, assessing the result, said the area he felt most lacking was lucidità, meaning composure. Magro stressed the unnecessary fouls and the moments when the offensive structure broke down after consecutive lost possessions. He said such moments gave Varese tempo and confidence.

Magro also said that the three-point percentage was an important factor in the gap. He noted that his team found good shots but that their conversion rate was lower than their opponent's. He added that the defence improved in the second half.

The coach admitted his team has not yet reached the required level on the road. Even so, he said the team should continue on the path they have been working on and that he trusts the potential they have.

For Varese, Olynyk stood out with 38 points and a 53 evaluation. Nikolic made 11 of 11 field goal attempts. Reggio Emilia, meanwhile, have only 2 points from four games in the league.
