Ergin Ataman talked about Panathinaikos AKTOR’s performance following their heavy 93-67 loss to Efes in Istanbul.
“We started the game very badly, missing easy baskets under the hoop with our big men, and then we lost control of the match. Efes played an excellent game tonight, playing differently thanks to Larkin’s contribution. We know that this is how they play at home. We didn’t respond well offensively.
We delivered a terrible performance, playing like a children’s team. In sports, this can happen sometimes. Of course, we missed our key offensive player (i.e., Kendrick Nunn), who is crucial to our attack. On a night when we couldn’t use Nunn, we had a dreadful shooting percentage from our perimeter players. As a result, the outcome was expected. Congratulations to Efes for their excellent game.”
