Bartzokas: «We lacked energy and focus»

 In his initial statement following the win against Maroussi, Giorgos Bartzokas talked about the consecutive games the team has played during the past week that lead to a lack of energy and focus.

"Congratulations to Maroussi for playing a very good game. They show to have found a way to attack with consistency. Of course, as you can see, in games like this the percentages they had with threes were very good, they were shooting with great confidence, because it was not a 'must win game' for them. They also had energy and creation and speed. They played very well. We played a fifth game in 10 days. We are dealing with a situation that involves fatigue, lack of energy and maybe lack of concentration and terms of what we need to be doing in a game like that. We played Friday night and again today, we did not even have 48 hours to prepare. That means that players that have been playing a lot lately looked tired today, contrary to some who haven't had that much time, that got to offer us quality and speed. A big thank you to our fans, I think they enjoyed the game, me, not so much".
