The Lithuanian coach offered no excuses, calling it his team\u2019s worst game of the season.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1768\" data-end=\"1991\">\u201cCongratulations to Bartzokas and Olympiacos, they were clearly the better team tonight. Unfortunately, we had a full roster and played our worst game of the season. It hurts me to see us play like this,\u201d Jasikevicius said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1993\" data-end=\"2284\">The Fenerbahce coach focused on the poor starts to each quarter and his team\u2019s inability to sustain momentum: \u201cEvery time we tried to come back, we couldn\u2019t. Every time we found a little life, they took it away from us. A bad afternoon for us and unfortunately it happened on the big stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2286\" data-end=\"2617\">Jasikevicius also pointed to the offensive issues: \u201cOlympiacos played like Olympiacos. I\u2019m satisfied defensively, but offensively we were very poor. I\u2019m not taking anything away from Olympiacos, they were a much better team tonight.\u201d On Nando De Colo, he added: \u201cEveryone knows who De Colo is, one of the greatest. Amazing career.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sarunas Jasikevicius admitted Olympiacos\u2019 clear superiority after Fenerbahce\u2019s Final Four semifinal loss at the Telekom Center Athens<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":497922,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-497938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/Sarunas-Jasikevicius.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=497938"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497938\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/497922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=497938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=497938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=497938"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=497938"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=497938"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=497938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
