Ergkin Ataman described the basketball played by Panathinaikos in the first 35 ‘against Maccabi and that they had to be at -15 to start playing properly, pushing, more aggressive, and making good defenses, he thinks that they were in the last few minutes.
In detail: “For 35 ‘we played awful basketball! When we lost 15 points, we started to push, play more aggressively, because we realized we were losing the game. We did good defenses and also in the attack we found a score with our game, with the picnics, one against one and returned.
It’s a miracle that we won this game because, as I said, for 35 ‘we didn’t deserve to do it. In the end, we put a lot of energy, things went well. For us, this victory is very important here. Everything went bad for us tonight. I had to wait for this … fire I wanted to see from my players.
We returned with some important baskets of Mitoglou, Huanzo and, of course, with Nan who started playing properly in the attack. Sloukas made one of his worst games, but he’s a great player and I’m sure he’ll play much better at the OAKA. Our goal is to be in the four and we want another victory to achieve it. “
