The statements of Giorgos Bozikas in detail:
About the game: “Today we started focused, we dominated the 1st period, we were as we should be on both sides. In the second quarter we lost concentration in defense, we gave space, they found a rhythm. They hit big shots. It became an attacking game that does not suit us. In the fourth period we did not manage possessions properly. We got lost in the details. We had a good image, this game will help us for the rest. We will learn from this match. To be tougher, more determined to go harder in the rebounds, in the contests and to be focused on both sides.”
For Larkin: “The bad happened in the beginning. The first shot was spot on and he found rhythm, confidence and you can’t stop him. He came forward, gave confidence to his teammates. We have to be focused on the other players as well. And this will be the subject of analysis of the match and we are looking ahead.”
For Fournier: “We deal with everything as a team and mistakes. Someone making the mistake means teammates didn’t have the proper distances. It was Fournier’s responsibility, but we didn’t help to open up spaces for him and get free passes. It’s all teamwork in both offense and defense. We should do a better job. A defeat that will help us in the future as well”.
