Despite the absences and early foul problems, spirited Panathinaikos gave it their all against Virtus and left Bologna with their fourth double this season Euroleague (82-77).
After the match, Matias Lessor who was decisive with 16 points and 8 rebounds, spoke to the emissary of News Bulletin 247, Giorgos Petridis, about the victory of the “greens” in a difficult venue and his terrible game Jerian Grantwhile he was asked if he wants to stay for many years in the team.
What he said in detail:
For the key to victory: “The key was to stay cool and focused until the end. It was a tough game, they fought hard and home helped them, they had that energy, but if we want to be a good team we have to be able to win both at home and away, so it was a big win for us.”
For Grant: “He was terrible, especially in the crucial minutes. He made a big shot, fed me a pass for an easy layup, made some really big saves at the end and got a big defensive rebound. He was very important for us in the final, we always know we can rely on him and we are happy to have him in our team.”
On whether he wants to stay at Panathinaikos for many years: “I hope so, it’s something that’s not just under my control, it’s about both sides. We’ll see, for now I’m focused on this season and I just care about winning the next game.”
