not easy to beat Prokom - said Ales Pipan, Anwil's coach.
We wanted to stop Prokom's best scorers - Dalmau, Atkins and Slanina
and we did thanks to tough and well balanced team-defence - he
added. Prokom's leader Donatas Slanina had 14 points on 4-of-5 field
shooting, Christian Dalmau added 9. We did not play as a team
today, we were not organized offensively and in the defence, we need
to work on it - commented Slanina. Prokom lost 33-25 on boards
and made more mistakes. It was a good game, but we committed too
many turnovers, my team played much below expectations - said
coach Kijewski. The MVP of the tournament went to
Andrzej Pluta. Anwil Włocławek - Prokom Trefl 72:66 (24:15, 19:21, 16:19, 13:12)
