As he said just after the game: “I am happy for the victory. I am happy for the heart we showed in the game. It was difficult. We started very good, we stayed focused, we had some problems in the first half with defensive rebounds, but then in the second half w, controlled better the boards. We were able to control the pace of the game, knew when to run when to stop when to look for our shooters, look for the ball inside. I think we did a very good job. I am very happy for the victory knowing that there is still a lot of work to come.”
Panathinaikos coach Xavi Pascual added from his side: “The beginning of the second half was unacceptable for us. At the start of the third quarter was wasted every opportunity which we had. We didn’t deserve anything better“.
Pascual was also asked if he considers a duel in the playoffs against Real Madrid possible. “At this point anything is possible. For us the most important thing is to recover and play our game because since February we are not ourselves, we are not playing at the level we can“, explained the coach of the Greens.
