Obradovic: Efes deserved to win, we were not at our level

In Round 9 of the EuroLeague, Anadolu Efes defeated league leader Panathinaikos at home. With this win, Efes completed a double-game week in front of its own fans.

Panathinaikos head coach Zeljko Obradovic took part in the post-match press conference and assessed his team's performance. Obradovic recalled that before the match he had said Efes would look different this time, and he admitted that his team put in a poor performance.

Obradovic stressed that the home side played a very good and energetic game. The coach, who said Panathinaikos could not play at its own level, congratulated Anadolu Efes and stated that the win belonged to the opponent.

Hosting the match, Efes largely set the course of the game with the tempo it showed on the court. The result serves as an important reminder for Panathinaikos in the EuroLeague standings.
