Among the protagonists for the “red and white” was Shaquille McKissickwho with his passion and energy helped Piraeus a lot in the second half and especially in the fourth quarter.

What Shaquille McKissic said in detail:
For the elements that judged the match: “Energy, concentration and a lot of preparation before the games. It’s weird, it’s like… prophecy, but it definitely gives me a lot of energy».
On whether it is difficult to psychologically bounce back from defeats: “Of course not. It’s basketball, if you worry about it, you’ll never get over it. And the coach has the same mentality, next match, next match. We have lost quite a few difficult matches away from home, but we protect our home ground very well».
About Bartzokas and what is heard and written about him: “The coach was the most… hated person for 4-5 days, but for me this is ridiculous. I think it throws too much work. And he has a philosophy, it’s up to us to follow what he says, that’s how it’s been for 5-6 years! When that comes out it’s great, today we did and it always takes some guys with big guts to step up and hit some tough shots».
