ABU DHABI– Monaco made it to the final of the EuroLeague, but ultimately couldn’t win the trophy.
Still making it to the last game of the season was a great feat, especially for coach Vassilis Spanoulis.
The former three-time EuroLeague champion as a player admitted after the game: “Congratulations to Fenerbahce. We had an amazing journey through the season. All the teams that came to Abu Dhabi deserved to win, but only one can.”
Speaking about the way his team competed, Spanoulis added: “This is basketball. We fought. We had pretty much the same stats everywhere. In offensive rebounds, in possessions. We had more turnovers, and they had more shots. It was a tough game”.
Spanoulis also gave credit to Fenerbahce got making big shots: “We didn’t move the ball properly. They made some big shots, we played good defense, but the offense was better.”
