In his statements after his end – Barcelona, he said the victory his players won was like two wins, with the Turkish technician standing in the dynamics of OAKA as a seat. Erkin Ataman could not hide his joy for Panathinaikos’ great 89-81 victory against Barcelona, a result that brings the “trifyll” to Euroleague’s 2nd place after the end of the 31st race. The Turkish technician pointed out that the win his players won was like two, as they managed to tie the -8 of the first match and thanks to the goal overage they have to take advantage of the 2nd place of the ranking. At the same time the experienced coach did not fail to mention the dynamics of OAKA, which led his players to the overthrow from -16 who were losing/ Ataman’s words after Panathinaikos – Barcelona “We didn’t play well in the first half we made many mistakes, we gave many rebounds, we weren’t aggressive enough and we talked about it in the locker room at rest. We released the ball very well after. I think we attacked very cleverly in the last period with Slouka and Nan just entered the race. We showed our strength, especially in OAKA we have the potential to return from -16 against Barcelona which was second because we are now in second place. We won the game and got the difference now. Because we lost by eight, we won by eight but in the total point difference we are at +33. It’s a big advantage in the remaining three games. It’s like we got two wins tonight. A terrible atmosphere that gave us confidence, fantastic for children. Three more games, we’re going step by step”
