Two days after the break at OAKA, o Olympic defeated Panathinaikos AKTOR again, this time in the packed SEF with score 92-86making it 2-0 in the Stoiximan Basket League Finals series, one step away from the title!
After the end of the match, the coach of the “red and whites”, George Bartzokas, he referred to the details that decided Game 2, while making it clear that he will not allow the Piraeus team to feel anything more than the joy of another victory, since nothing is over yet regarding the case of winning the championship.
The statements of Giorgos Bartzokas in detail:
“The character of a team always plays a role, but it wasn’t just the heart, it was the quality of the players.
How solid he was, how we played together. In critical parts of the game we had very good behavior. We made it very difficult for Panathinaikos to score. In the second half we controlled the game with differences close to double digits. You saw how good a team they are and what shots they made at the end and came close.
I will not allow my team to feel anything more than the joy of today’s victory, than just another victory. The series is best-of-five, each game has its own story.
Panathinaikos shot the ball very well in the first half. He played with less pressure than the first one on their pitch. We, respectively, in this match, had the pressure. We unfolded our features on the floor as we wanted.”
