Head Coaches

EKONOMOU, NIKOLAOS

Panionios Athens

"I want to thank the players and the staff for their cooperation. We had a good start in the game and we played better than in our last two games. But at the beginning of the second half we didn't have the same energy and Unics punished us. Unics is a much better team than we are and we were forced to chase them during the second half when they scored too many points. "

PETROVIC, ACO

Unics Kazan

"It was an important win for my team. In the first half we had problems controlling the rebounds and that's why Panionios was close. But in the second half we used Kaimakoglou as a free shooter, we made a lot of fast breaks and we made all the big shots to win the game. We are the favorites in the group, but we're forced to prove it in every game. Now we have two consecutive home games and we want to win so we will qualify to the next round. I expect that Panionios will play in a different way next week after the coaching change. "

Players

MILBOURNE, LANDON

Panionios Athens

"We gave a lot of effort in the first half, we had energy and we played like a team. But in the second half we lost our concentration, we lost the control of the game and we lost. "

KAIMAKOGLOU, KOSTAS

Unics Kazan

"We got a big win against a team that had changed their coach and its players wanted to play better, which made the game more difficult. Now, after this victory we are close to qualifying for the next round. We had control during the whole game, but in the first half we had many problems against their press and we also lost a lot of rebounds. In the second half we made all the big shots; we controlled the rebounds and won the game easily. I'm very happy to be back in Greece and play in front of friends and family. "
