The coach of Panathinaikos, Aleksandar Djordjevic stated after the game against Zalgiris Kaunas: "It was a great game. It‘s an honor to be here in Kaunas, a Mecca of basketball. Of course, I‘m happy that we were able to win here. Stable defense was a key reason why we grabbed a victory. The game was tough, but we have enough experience to play successfully at the end. When two strong teams meet each other, you can‘t shoot free throws so bad. We have to improve that because we missed 10 free throws tonight. So we have to do better job at the line. Congratulation to my players."
