The coach of Panathinaikos, Aleksandar Djordjevic stated after the game against Unicaja: "It was a very tough game for us. We played with consistency throughout the game. We were ready to play against all the weapons that Unicaja has and we did well. We knew they had problems with the staff, but Unicaja is always a dangerous team. We controlled one of their main weapons, offensive rebounds; they always get second chances. It was a very important victory. Now we have to continue working for the next game and to continue to compete in this Top 16. "
Elliot Williams said: "The main key was playing really good defensively. This is a hard, defensive team that we were facing, very talented and we had to take care of the ball, offensively, and play solid defense if we wanted to come out with a win. Our coaching staff did a great job scouting and the players did a good job coming out and playing hard, so we got the win. My teammates are helping me with plays. I have only been here for a week and a half but the coaching staff and the players have done an unbelievable job preparing me. I am trying to come out and play as hard as I can."
