Ergin Ataman spoke about the defeat of Panathinaikos by Hapoel, with the coach of the Greek Cup winners emphasizing that his team lost the opportunity to win by 15-20 points and was defeated.
In detail, what Ergin Ataman said:
We lost an opportunity to win easily. For 35 minutes we controlled the game, but tonight luck was not on our side. They called an offensive foul at the end of the third and they made a miraculous shot. We missed many open shots. Our shooters are great players but we missed. It's bad for us because we played great basketball for three quarters but we didn't take advantage of the opportunity to win by 15-20 points and in the end we lost. We will see what happens now in our last three games.
