Pascual: “Very Important Win”

The head coach of Panathinaikos Superfoods, Xavi Pascual, stated after the game against Galatasaray ODEABANK:

"We are happy for this win. I think we played today about 30 minutes more or less well. And for 10 minutes, in the second quarter, we lost a little control on defense and offense. But in general we are happy, because it was a very important win for us, especially after our very bad game in Barcelona."

"I am very happy with the play of whole team, and James and Gabriel in particular. They need time, but they showed something tonight, as the whole team did, working very correctly."

"In second half we played better. We kept the rhythm both on defense and on offense. We scored some three-pointers, but especially ran well on the fast break. There are some mistakes we need to improve, of course, but tonight we are happy for this win. It was a good team game. Sometimes we lose control, especially after one mistake we did not have the claim to play next offense in the correct way. But we need time, and need to improve. Thank you fans for the support."
