Pedro Mart\u00ednez refused to make excuses after Real Madrid\u2019s 115-112 overtime loss to Panathinaikos, praising his team\u2019s character and mentality despite a long list of absences. \u201cWe fought well. At many points we managed to come back even when they had built leads,\u201d Mart\u00ednez said. \u201cWe showed a lot of character. In the end it was a coin-flip game and a few small details went against us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Real Madrid was without Campazzo, Maledon, Deck, Jantunen and Garuba, but Mart\u00ednez did not want to hide behind the injury situation: \u201cThere are no excuses. We competed well with the players we had. We miss those who are unavailable, but we trust the players who are here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The coach also addressed Kendrick Nunn<\/strong>, who finished with 33 points and scored 23 in the fourth quarter, setting a new EuroLeague record for points in a final period<\/strong>: \u201cHe is a top-level player. He can shoot the three, get to the free-throw line and he is very difficult to defend. He played a great game, but we still could have won.\u201d The defeat ended Real Madrid\u2019s 11-game winning streak across Liga Endesa and EuroLeague.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pedro Mart\u00ednez says there are no excuses after Real Madrid\u2019s 115-112 overtime loss to Panathinaikos despite several key absences<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":549830,"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":[199],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-559393","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\/10\/DE9_7339.jpg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559393","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=559393"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":559394,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559393\/revisions\/559394"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/549830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559393"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=559393"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=559393"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=559393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
