The head coach of Panathinaikos BC OPAP, Argyris Pedoulakis, stated after the end of the game against Anadolu Efes: "I believe that we played a good game today. We played with a lot of energy. We were able to control the defensive part of the game and the rebounds against a team that is very well-structured right now. They always try to take advantage of our weaknesses and the secret was that we got help from players who came off the bench today. We brought out a lot of energy on defense and were able to match up with the big lineup that Efes had. At the same time, they had three creators on the floor, with Micic, Simon and Larkin, so we were able to match up with these players. If you look at Efes and the way they play the game, they are one of the best teams at extra passes, stretching the floor. We matched up against them and were able to control the game."
