Dimitris Itoudis spoke about Hapoel's victory over Panathinaikos, analyzing the reasons why his team came back, while also expressing his belief that the Greens will make it to the EuroLeague playoffs.
In detail, Dimitris Itoudis said:
"Congratulations to my team for the victory. We knew the stakes and both teams wanted the win. It was very important to stay focused and believe. Panathinaikos reached +12, but at that moment our team believed. We found good shots and dunks. We did an amazing job on an excellent player, Nunn. Nunn is clutch, but he had 4 in the fourth quarter against us. Every player helped, even those who didn't play. The fact that Odiahse played helped us with his athleticism. We got the win in a tough game and we look forward to next week. We have three games and we need to be ready. I want to emphasize that we played against a team that is built to win the title and I believe they will be in the Play Offs, because they have the quality. Today they were missing Grant, who is very important on offense and defense. We played very well against a team with great quality."
