Coach Spahija summarized the loss to Panathinaikos: “We’ll get back to Tel Aviv and we will work hard in order to maintain the level we presented”. Thomas: “There are a lot of details we need to work on. It’s our responsibility to learn from all of our mistakes”
DeShaun Thomas added: “It was a tough crowd, there are a lot of details we need to work on. It’s our responsibility to learn from all of our mistakes. It’s very important for us to bounce back and to keep our home safe on Thursday, despite the fact Fenerbache are the reigning champs”.
“We fought but we didn’t play smart like we should have had against such a good team. We’ve turned the ball over in critical moments”, said DeAndre Kane, “we have to give the credit to Panathinaikos, they are a great home team, but I feel like we had a chance to win this game. We’ve missed a lot of shots and lay-ups in critical moments, we allowed them to control the boards which
is the opposite than who we are and you can’t make mistakes like this against such a team”.“It was a tough game with a lot of mistakes by us, on away games you can’t make such mistakes and help the home team like we
did” said Norris Cole who finished the game with 14 points. “We need to focus on ourselves to fix our mistakes and to give ourselves to a chance to win such games”.
