Bartzokas: «Panathinaikos was better and won»
The coach of Olympiacos, Giorgos Bartzokas, said the defeat at the OAKA to be the result of missed open shots and free throws.
"Congratulations to Panathinaikos for the win. We had to play a level up from what we played. There were points in the game when we could have easily sealed the victory for us, bent the opponent in spirit. I remind you the missed shot at the end when the score was tied, when we lost the rebound and then Grigonis won two free throws. We created many open shots following the transition from one end of the floor to another, but at some point, you have to score two critical ones to win the game. Missed free throws... And despite all that, the game was decided by a couple of decisions. Panathinaikos was better and won. Congratulations to the opponent. We move on".
