In the middle of the first half, the Argentine who appeared on the field was in no rush to act and was not very noticeable on the field.
The 27-year-old 198cm tall lightweight forward attacked only once in 6 minutes, his 3-pointer was not accurate.
P. Garino is on trial on defense, but it was obvious that he still needed to catch up with the game and get used to the team.
