THE Panathinaikos AKTOR closed the “devil’s week” in the best way, as it prevailed 76-68 of Armani Milano and rose to 9-7 in the Euroleague standings.
At the press conference, the “clover” coach, Ergin Atamanspoke of the defense played by his players in the second half, describing it as the best so far in the season for the “greens”.
In detail, Ergin Ataman’s statements:
“It’s a big win for us. Armani in the last two matches got two very important victories and today was a very tough match. In the first half both teams in attack played well. We tried to go to a set game, but we gave enough points to surprise, it was 20 points. In the second half our defense was the best so far in the season. We put some aggression into our defense and played more aggressively on Shields and Hall and kept the rebounds that mattered. In attack we found solutions mainly with Nan and Sluka, who created very good space in attack and we circulated the ball well. And then of course with Lessor and Grigonis. We finished the double week with two wins».
On Lesor’s condition: “I do not know something. In the locker room now he was in pain. It’s a problem in the middle. We’ll see tomorrow, I can’t say anything now».
