The coach of Panathinaikos Superfoods, Xavi Pascual said after the game against Malaga: "It was a typical game, we were sure before the game it would be like this. It was one game in the first 20 minutes, that we did not play too bad on offense, but we did not score under the basket, we did not make open shots, we made two or three turnovers on fast break, and that’s why we had only 32 points. In the second half we found a good way to win, by defense and by offense. But Unicaja also played very well and this is why we could not break the game open until the last quarter. In the last quarter we made an extra effort in defense and offense, and that’s why in the end we have this important win."
