Following the defeat, Panathinaikos Athens coach Georgios Vovoras told Kaunas Žalgiris’ team that the rivals deserved the victory.
On Friday, Žalgiris won in Athens with the result 81 – 69.
“I think Žalgiris was better in many ways and deserves to win today. We must take responsibility for not using our advantage in attack and defense in the first half of the match. We allowed opponents to easily score a lot of points.
As I said, to win in the Euroleague you have to play the 40 minutes and fight hard both in attack and defense. We have two important games ahead of us and we have to correct the mistakes, ”said the Greek.
Traditionally, Panathinaika Legionnaire Howard Sant-Roos also spoke for 40 minutes.
“We gave the first two halves to team Žalgiris and then it was difficult to come back. We were able to level the score, but we quickly fell behind by 10 points again.
We were not psychologically prepared. We have a tough defense to play the 40 minutes. We can improve, we are young and it is normal to say hello ”, said the legionary.
