In his statements at the press conference, the PAOK coach noted:

“We tried to give our best. Every defeat hurts, but sometimes you have to admit that the opponent is better. If someone says otherwise, they are probably wrong. In the third period we were one point up. It is good to ask the opponent about this as well. The game was very intense and it was difficult to mark the tall opponents. Our Brown…killed, earlier so did Nan.’

Earlier in his statements to ERT he said, among other things:

“I don’t think we played badly. I am proud of my players. We tried and I think we played better defense than Virtus in this stadium. When you’re one point down on that team, it can become 20 at the end of the game. The moment we went by a point, our mistakes acted as a deterrent. We didn’t lose by a big margin in the first quarter, 4-5 points, but in the end the difference came together. We need to capitalize on this performance in the next few games.”
