The coach of Panathinaikos Aleksandar Djordjevic stated after the game against Laboral Kutxa: "We just didn't respond to their physical game, they are a team with many athletic abilities and even though we prepared for that and we tried to do things the right way, we were not capable of it. Every time we lowered the advantage, they came up with big threes. They scored 13 three pointers. It's huge in a game like this. Without a good shooting night you cannot play a game like this. We must play the next one with a knife between the teeth; I need to see fire in our eyes if we want to win this round"
Miroslav Raduljica said: "It was a tough game for us and a tough night. We knew it was going to be that way, but we made so many mistakes and this cannot happen in games like this. This is the playoffs and there are more games ahead to recover. Of course we know that if we want to win the next one, we must play different."
