Pascual: "΅We are very happy to get this win"

The coach of Panathinaikos Superfoods said after the game against Malaga: "Of course, we are very happy to get this win tonight. We played too fast in the first half and made a lot of mistakes on offense. We committed a lot of turnovers and even when we played well, we missed a lot of open shots. Hitting just 1-of-14 three-point shots in the first half hurt us a lot. We changed the course of the game in the second half, starting with defense. I believe that our second half allowed us to be the fair winners in a very, very important game for our playoffs chances. A big part of our game is being effective. If you generate advantages but when you get the open shot, you don't score, you look like you are not playing well because you are not scoring. Added to the fact that we had six turnovers in the first half, those were the keys for us to fall a bit short in scoring. On the other hand, we took better care of the ball in the second half, picking up just two turnovers, and were much more effective. This is why everything changed."
