The head coach of Panathinaikos BC Superfoods, Xavi Pascual stated after the game against Fenerbahce: "We are very happy for this win. I think we played our best game tonight. We did a great job on defense, more or less a good job on offense and played a complete game. In the end, we found this very important victory for us. I think it was a game in which both teams fought hard to try to win, and I am sure any detail was decisive to make the game go one way or another. I think we had a very good all-around game, except from the moment in which Ioannis Bourousis got injured and we lost control a little bit. We have played very well for the rest of the game. For us, this is the most significant aspect of this game, from our point of view - our good work. Just as players, all coaches try to fight and give our best version in every game. The motivation is always maximum because every EuroLeague game is very important. My players prepared the game really well, mentally and tactically. Everyone was ready and things worked well for us. Of course, fan support was critical tonight. I want to thank everyone that came here for their support. This win is partly because of them. We try to take care of the ball and have tried to limit turnovers since I arrived here. In modern basketball, you pay a high price for turnovers. When Fenerbahce returned to the game in the second quarter, it was due to a couple of turnovers we had and two missed shots around the basket. Preventing turnovers helps our defensive balance. Obviously, getting just three turnovers is unbelievable, but we try to have as few as possible."
