In detail what the Red Star coach said:



“I want to congratulate our players for yet another good game. We played very well and we could win by the end. In the last minutes of the regular season we were ahead, Panathinaikos showed its quality, achieved difficult baskets, tied. We had the last attack to win, we didn’t score. In the extension we tried to stay in the match until the end, Panathinaikos scored by our mistakes and got the difference that gave him the victory.

Despite the defeat I am pleased with how we fought. These latest races with Panathinaikos, Efes and Real we lost in the end with great battles will help us in the play-in. We fought in all the matches and these matches will build our character and help us play the knockout matches that start on Tuesday. Congratulations to Panathinaikos for victory. We knew we had a difficult mission because they have the quality, the experience, they are the champions and good luck afterwards. “.
