Mitoglu: We didn't play well but we got the win

Panathinaikos beat Baskonia 85-79 away from home, returning to winning ways after the poor result against Hapoel. The game was difficult and the home side fought until the final moment.

Speaking after the match, Dinos Mitoglu openly said his team did not perform well tonight. Mitoglu noted that the team lacked energy and said that while their roster quality was superior to the opponent, they were unable to show it on the court.

Mitoglu described how Baskonia played at a high tempo and took the court with a small-lineup approach. He said they are used to such tactics and that their experience helped them in this regard. Acknowledging the problem on the defensive glass, Mitoglu said they managed to limit the opponent's offensive rebounds in the second half.

Asked about the upcoming schedule, which will be the third demanding week of the league, Mitoglu said they did not think about fatigue or rest, adding that this is part of their job.
