Sarunas Jasikevicius was voted the most valuable player of the game; and he deserved it for the way that he fought and for the passion he oozed out there on court in every play of the final: “I am very happy. This was the first title for the season. It was a very difficult game, since we were trailing behind in the score since the third quarter. At some points we were struggling a lot. Defensively, we managed to get some steals and mark some good defenses. In offence, from the 13th minute onward things were very difficult for us. This title is already in the past. We are very excited, but we must now continue improving in view of the Euroleague playoffs and the Greek Championship playoffs. I will continue playing this game for as long as I keep enjoying it. I am very happy to be with Panathinaikos and draw great satisfaction from working with this coaching team. I will keep on working and will continue doing that as long as I keep enjoying this game.”
