The coach of Panathinaikos, Aleksandar Djordjevic, stated after the game against Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar: "Congratulations to the winning team. I think they finished the game the way winners finish the game. We played a really good game for 38 minutes except for the first two or three minutes… We opened the game in the bad way not ready to fight and this was a fighting game. We have to have fighters on the floor for 40 minutes in order to win games. We weren’t ready to open the game, I have no explanation for that. In two minutes we came back, so us opening the game like that makes no sense. "
Vlado Jankovic said: "I don’t have a lot to say. I believe that today’s game was all about the details, especially in the fourth quarter. Also in the end the percentage of three-point shooting of Lokomotiv was hard to deal with. It was difficult to stay in the game and to try to win this game. I think we did a very good job, but we should do it for 40 minutes. "
