This is the ninth victory over Bayern Munich in as many games at Telekom Center Athens, where Panathinaikos aims to be present for the Euroleague final (24/5/26), since the Final Four will be held at its home ground.
Until then, there is a lot of time and even more work required, something that Ergin Ataman reiterated immediately afterwards.
“We didn’t play very well on defense, and on offense, we didn’t follow our usual plan, but we have incredible offensive players. Nunn played a great game, Rogavopoulos made shots, Sloukas and Grant helped too. Individually, we found a way to win the game,” he said on Euroleague TV.
“We’re not ready, as I said yesterday. We’ve only had three practices together. It’s going to take time for Shorts to adjust to the game and for us to adjust to him. We still have time; it’s a long year. It’s important to start with a home win in a sold-out stadium. Incredible atmosphere, I’m happy for everyone who came.”
