Olympiacos, with its coach, experienced its fifth defeat in this year’s EuroLeague at the home of Monaco. George Bartzokasstanding on the fact that his team made mistakes at critical points, did not protect the ball as well as they should when they had it in their hands, while also allowing their opponents to get many offensive rebounds.
What the coach of Olympiakos said:
“It was a tough game, as we expected it to be. I think we more or less had a great chance to win. We should simply avoid three main things. One is that we should protect the ball more. We made mistakes at critical points in the match, which gave Monaco the opportunity to strike in transition. Also, offensive rebounds.
We gave them 13 second chances and that really hurt us. We should do a better job of box out, grab defensive rebounds and try to control the tempo through that. By the end the score was tied.
We missed two shots at a critical point in the game, while James’ pull-up jumper, as well as the three-pointer from the side line, decided the winner. We should have controlled the match in a different way at the end. But it is always difficult to play here. Congratulations to Monaco and I wish them the best.”.
