The many missed rebounds in the first half and the difference that escaped in the third period, cost the Panathinaikos defeat (80-72) from Barcelonaas said by Dimitris Moraitis to News Bulletin 247.
What Dimitris Moraitis said to News Bulletin 247 and George Petridis:
On the loss to Barcelona: “We didn’t play well and the gap widened in the second and third quarters. In the fourth quarter we took heart and tried to stay in the match. We’re doing well. Our coach was not happy. That’s basketball. We have to delete it and move on».
For the many missed defensive rebounds: “We gave up ten defensive rebounds in the first half and that hurt us. I can’t figure out what’s going on and we’re getting this. It’s luck, mood, energy. We had to box out, fight and correct our mistakes. We are certainly saddened by this. As our coach said, we have to go up a bit in the Euroleague, because we didn’t start well. First is Apollo now and then Berlin».
On his participation in the “Palau Blaugrana”: “To play here was obviously something special, unprecedented and indescribable. I try to give 100% and give my heart and soul when I get the chance».
