In the tragic first period and his effort Pigeon bwin to return afterwards mentioned o Vasilis Spanoulis after lost 94-92 to Prometheus.

At the same time, the Greek coach emphasized that this round in the championship it didn’t help anywhere both his team and many others.

My colleagues and I have been waiting for a game like this, after two weeks of being like this. We lost a bit of our rhythm, a bit of our steps, our partnerships. We had a terrible first period, we conceded 35 points, it’s a record for our team this year.

From there, in the following quarters we conceded 16 points, 17 and 14 points respectively. That says it all. When you go into a game and concede 35 points in the first period at home, you’re completely off the hook and you’re always chasing. We gave it our all to turn the game around, we had two shots with Nate (Renfro) and he missed them, Kenny (Williams) two more and he made one.

We conceded a basket afterwards and went to overtime. We want to use this match to prepare for the playoffs. We see that this round certainly did not benefit us anywhere, not only us, too many teams. Now we have to prepare for the playoffs“, were his words Spanoulis.

At the same time, the coach of Prometheus Patras, Ilias Papatheodoroustated: “Let me start by saying official congratulations to Peristeri bwin for the success of playing in the Final-4 of the Basketball Champions League. Today was the last game of the Top-6 with virtually no scoring match, but it was a very good test for us against an excellent team before the start of the playoffs.

We tried to keep the team all this time in good condition and by playing these two games with Panathinaikos AKTOR and Peristeri bwin we had the motivation to show and understand the level we are at.

Today’s game helps us a lot, it was very strong even though it didn’t matter in points. We controlled it at the beginning by playing very well, Pigeon bwin naturally reacted, but we also stayed there we were present, the game was decided in the end in the details.

We won, that’s nice, but we have to concentrate on the important game ahead of us at the start of the playoffs against Aris. Congratulations to the guys for the win and good luck at Peristeri bwin».
