"We are very happy for this win. We want to dedicate this win for all the families and all the people in Athens that lost someone in the big catastrophe and we feel very sorry for that. It was a tough game, which we expected. In the last part of the game we controlled well our emotions, played good defense, and that’s why in the end game went our way. I am very happy for Calathes, he is a worker, always on the court, he tries to play defense, to run, to play his best every day. You must be happy for such a player. He did an incredible job on offense and defense; he was our leader on the court, and was a key for our win. Also, in the last part of the game, Pappas changed the game in a good way for us. We attacked deeper on the pick-and-roll defense, which we made mistakes before, especially in the third quarter, when we played so far out of the paint. We changed this thinking in the last part of the game, attacked deeper and it worked to our advantage."
