Fragkiskos Alvertis was a disappointed by the way his team performed against Barcelona the last three periods of the game. Panathinaikos' coach stated at the press conference:
"We were relatively good in the first period, but the next three quarters were of the worst we have ever played. We had zero focus and we did nothing of the things we have talked about. We lost a lot of defensive rebounds, we couldn't compete against Barcelona in speed. We have to improve some things as soon as possible, because we have a really important game against Unicaja Malaga. The results speak for themselves regarding the quality and quantity of Barcelona".
Wright: "We must not repeat our mistakes"
Zack Wright noted after the game: "It was a difficult game to begin with. We came out on the right foot, we faced Barcelona as equal. But the third quarter was a disaster. We tried to cut the margin, but there was always a big shot coming from the other side, through a screen, or going one on one, which was bringing us back to difficult position. I don't know if can keep something from this game. The news from Turkey were really good since we need one win next week against Unicaja Malaga in order to secure one spot in Euroleague Play Offs. We need to see the video, to see what we did wrong, if we want to avoid making the same mistakes, especially in the game against Unicaja Malaga".
