We have the opportunity to face a very strong team, full of quality and “depth” in its roster.
Prometheus runs a lot in transition and scores a lot of second chance points with offensive rebounds. Therefore, controlling the pace and rebounding will be decisive factors in the final result. We have to be ready to fight hard and give 100% on both ends of the floor».

We are facing a very high-quality team, with “depth” in its roster and special offensive talent. Reasonably, we have to be very focused and put a lot of energy into the defense in order to limit the productivity of the opponent. Controlling tempo and rebounds will play an important role in the outcome of the match».
