The head coach of Panathinaikos OPAP, Rick Pitino, stated after the end of the game against Bayern Munich:
"It’s very important to win the games at home. Sometimes you need games like this, hard fought against a very well-coached basketball team. We did a good job on Williams, we did a good job defensively. Our conditioning is a little suspect. It's suspect because we are two players down. Like, for instance, Papapetrou had to play almost the whole game at the three spot. If I had to put a gauge on one thing I'd like to see better, it's our conditioning. Because I'm a running coach, I'm a pressure coach. And we were used to switching all the time and taking the easy way out. So from this point on, we'll work a little more on conditioning, but we're very pleased with the victory."
