Panathinaikos had a tough time in the first three quarters against a feisty Karditsa team, but by stepping on the gas in the final quarter, they prevailed 78-64 and continued their undefeated run in the Stoiximan GBL.
After the game, Zeljko Obradovic highlighted his team’s lack of energy, while also praising their opponents.
In fact, he mentioned Nan and Slouka and noted that it will take time for them to reach 100% form.
Here are the key points of his remarks: “They played a very good game; they came in ready. They punished every mistake we made; we lacked energy on defense. In the second half, we started off better; the starting five we had at the beginning of the fourth quarter helped us a lot, especially on defense, and that’s how we managed to play better in the second half.
It’s clear that Sloukas and Nan are two of the players who play a major and important role on the team, but they’ll need time to get back to 100 percent.”
