Giorgos Pantelakis stated: "In the first eight minutes of the game, we weren’t in the game because we thought that it would be an easy match. It was completely wrong to approach the match and we changed our energy mainly to defense. We checked the rebounds that are important for such a match. We have a lot of athletes in excellent condition and we showed that today as they all scored and five players had 10+ points. Beyond that, we keep our heads low and continue. Now, we are playing against Chania, which is a championship match that we want to win, and then, we will showcase our skills in Eurocup step by step and improve constantly. "
