Bonga: Sloukas and Nunn are very important players for the team

Panathinaikos extended its winning streak by beating Armani Milano 80-75 in Euroleague's Round 8. The tension in the final minutes of the game led to discussion of both the team's win and its performance.

Isaac Bonga told Eurohoops that the opponent's 16 offensive rebounds and their three-point shooting should be reviewed on video. The German forward stressed that the team must fix these shortcomings in its next game.

Bonga attributed the win to staying calm. He said the players took the right shots, got every detail right, and won the game through small margins. On the busy schedule, he said he trusts the team's depth and rotation strength, and that fatigue may also play a role, but full performance is needed in every game.

Bonga also assessed the return of Kostas Sloukas and Kendrick Nunn. Saying that both are key names for the team, Bonga noted that their league experience has brought important contributions to the squad.

Panathinaikos' upcoming games are a demanding stretch. Bonga said they are approaching the matches against Efes in Turkey and then Aris in Thessaloniki with a routine preparation.
