Fernando Sá on losing to Benfica in final game 1: “Stats don't lie” | OneFootball

Benfica beat FC Porto 89-73 this Sunday in Game 1 of the Portuguese Basketball League final. At the end of the game, Fernando Sá, coach of the Dragons, assessed the blue-and-whites’ lack of efficiency when shooting.

“The statistics are clear. As in some of our other games, we lacked efficiency. The frustration starts to build up. The gap kept growing and, against Benfica, a team that is used to these games, everything became more difficult,” said the coach, as quoted by Lusa. “We have to maintain our offensive efficiency and our defensive solidity as well,” he continued.

“Benfica did not have such a significant offensive output. We were the ones who performed below our usual level, and that hurt us offensively,” continued Fernando Sá, who said he was already focused on Game 2, scheduled for Tuesday: “There’s no point looking back. We have to work, reflect and make adjustments so that we show up here on Tuesday with the same ambition. This must not shake in any way what was done throughout the season.”
