The coach of Panathinaikos BC Superfoods, Xavi Pascual, said after the game against CSKA:
“Thanks to all the fans because they created an incredible atmosphere. Congratulations to CSKA for the win. It was a game we lost in the second quarter when we could not score in some easy situations. We missed four easy layups, four three-pointers completely alone. Also, when we took a 10-point lead in the third quarter, we did not have luck. We had an incredible atmosphere and were playing very well, but play stopped for several minutes for a review. After that Singleton got a third personal foul, CSKA took one offensive rebound, we missed a layup, they scored a three-pointer and CSKA came back into the game. We had chances to win, but De Colo and Rodriguez scored in the last second of their possessions. That just shows why they are maybe the best players in Europe. But I am proud of my players and what they are doing. We have to keep going.”
