Spanoulis: Winning Every Game by a Big Margin Is Not Possible

Aris extended its unbeaten run in the EuroCup by beating Tsentevita 78-73. Tsentevita finished the game with 73 points. Speaking after the match, Aris head coach Vasilis Spanoulis assessed the win, which was secured by a five-point margin.

Spanoulis said that the opponent's failure to win yet does not reflect the strength of his team. Pointing to the quality of Tsentevita, Spanoulis stressed that his team cannot win every game by a big margin. He also said the match was not fluent because of many fouls, and that the tempo of the game dropped.

Congratulating his players, Spanoulis said he was most pleased with the defense in the match. He viewed the reaction and concentration in the last period positively, and he highlighted the easy points his team missed on offense and the defense that allowed 17 offensive rebounds.

Spanoulis said the priority for the coming days would be rest and preparation. Referring to the match against Panathinaikos on Sunday, November 1, at 17:00, Spanoulis reminded that it would be a tough game against one of the best teams in Europe.
