“Derby is always derby”, it doesn’t matter in which situation you are, after a winning streak or a losing streak, bad moments or good moments it doesn’t matter derby is a different game and everybody needs to be focused, ready, concentrated and fight for every ball. The most important thing for us is to win all the small battles during the game that will give us the win. We want to continue our good performances and we need to continue and play good basketball defensively and offensively.
“I think that at the end of the day we’re going to get everyone’s best shot and we have to come prepared and ready to fight especially in the derby”, said John DiBartolomeo who scored 14
