Ataman: “At this moment, Olympiacos is the best team in Europe, and we are the best team in Greece”

Panathinaikos has secured a spot in the basketball Cup final and will face Olympiacos on Sunday in Heraklion, Crete, aiming for their 21st title in the competition

Newsroom February 14 09:40

Their opponents will be either Olympiacos or PAOK, with the final scheduled to start at 20:15.

After the semifinal against Promitheas, Ergin Ataman spoke about the game against the Patras team and Olympiacos.

Ergin Ataman’s statement at the press conference:

“We treated the game seriously because Promitheas is a good team. We had a good mindset, passed the ball to our big men, and for three quarters, we played good defense, especially against their guards. Nan missed a lot of shots, but we scored 91 points, which is very important for us.

We played well, distributed the minutes, and we are ready for the final. I hope Mitoglou continues like this, he played very well as a ‘5’ today. I don’t think an extra day of rest will make a difference at this level; teams that play in the EuroLeague have many tough games within a few days. Both teams have strong rosters to cover for any injuries.
