Following Monaco’s loss to Barcelona in Game 4, coach Vassilis Spanoulis voiced concerns about the officiating during the second half. “We played great defense, but they scored 44 points – 22 of those from free throws. That’s the game, that’s the criteria,” he said in the post-game press conference.
In the flash interview, Spanoulis added: “There was a different criteria after halftime. I don’t complain, it’s not my job. I just prepare the team.”
The Greek coach credited the pressure applied by the home crowd and staff: “Barcelona’s fans and coach did their job. It’s not up to me to comment. It’s strange, but I care only about basketball.”
Looking ahead to Game 5, Spanoulis admitted Monaco needs to improve: “Shooting 21% from three and having 19 turnovers, you can’t win. I’ve been in many 2-2 situations as a player. Now we have to stay calm and shoot better. I hope we’ll be ready on Tuesday.”
