The coach of Panathinaikos BC OPAP, Xavi Pascual, said after the ned of the game against Fenerbahce: "First of all, congratulations to Fenerbahce for this win. We were in the game for 36 minutes. We followed the game plan on defense and offense. We played serious defense, and this is why Fenerbahce had 16 turnovers tonight. And on offense, we played more or less calmed down, trying to find our advantage with only 8 turnovers. Five minutes before the end we were 59-61, lost one defensive rebound, they scored and after that, we missed two free throws at 59-63 and Fenerbahce scored a three-point shot in the next offense. We tried to come back but it was impossible in the last part of the game. It is very clear that Fenerbahce with 61% three-point shooting, and us scoring 25%, was the key of the game."
