Bartzokas: «What's important is to win games» (vid)

The coach of Olympiacos, Giorgos Bartzokas, appeared to be satisfied with his team's performance, as well as with the return to action of Nikola Milutinov and Shaquielle McKissic. 

"That was our 3rd victory in a row. However, what really satisfies me is that two injured players have returned to action, and I'm talking about Milutinov and McKissic. Someway, we are now trying to open up the rotation, having in mind that they are going to need time to get back to Euroleague standards conditioning. Up until then, it's important to win games, especially against teams like Zalgiris, that is always a difficult opponent. They beat Baskonia and Virtus on the road, they last to Panathinaikos in the last possession and to Efes in the overtime. They never give up the fight, they fight to the end. They are a team that threatens the basket with their big guys who shoot from the perimeter. We really appreciate this victory, it was very important to us. I wish good luck to Zalgiris".
