The coach of Panathinaikos Superfoods Xavi Pascual stated after the end of the game against Maccabi FOX: "It's very clear that without defense, it's impossible to feel the game. The first 20 minutes, we didn't play defense at all. This is why even on offense we didn't score. I think it was clear. In the second half, we started to feel the game on defense. We didn't score on offense, but we started, at least. And after this we played better and better offense and defense and we got the win. Home-court advantage in the playoffs is important for sure. We are very happy that we will play in front of our people, our supporters. For sure this is important for us, but the most important thing will be to play well."
