POST-GAME QUOTES
93 - 64
Olympiacos Head Coach
GIANNAKIS, PANAGIOTIS
"It was a really good game and we all enjoyed it. We stayed focused, didn’t make turnovers and for 30 minutes we were able to read their weaknesses and take advantage of them, scoring in transition. We also played effective defense and this win came easier than expected. I know that all the players are important and we can trust them. Our priorities are to be patient, avoid mistakes and have speed both in defense and offense, but at the same time we need to control the game when it comes to a difficult situation and play smart."
Olympiacos Guard
HALPERIN, YOTAM
"We can play much better, because the team has a lot of talent and quality. Our target is to be perfect on April and now it’s December. The next game in Tel Aviv will be special for the whole team and especially, for Nikola [Vujcic] and myself."
Olympiacos Guard
PAPALOUKAS, THEODOROS
"We played well, but a single game cannot be used as a safe criteria. Sure, the team has improved its game, but we are not allowed to celebrate, because we played great basketball for 30 minutes. We are on the right path, not because we pay attention to what is done well, but because we emphasize what has to be better in the future’’
Cibona Head Coach
PERASOVIC, VELIMIR
"We played really bad in the second period and that cost us a lot. I have to say that the only team that showed up on court was Olympiacos. We didn’t come to the stadium, while our opponents played strong and smart, deserving to win. I hope that it will not happen again and we will return to the level we are used to playing immediately."
