Llull: "We tried, as we always do, until the end"
“We played a very solid first half, but Panathinaikos were more effective in the second half”, said Campazzo.
Llull spoke to the media shortly after the Euroleague final. The captain said: "We're leaving here disappointed. We got off to a very good start and then we had a chance to put the game away, but they closed in on us. It was a bad second half, we were very poor. They were better and deserved to win".
"We tried, as we always do, until the end, but when we were on target they hit back straight away and they didn't let us string together two or three moves and pull ourselves back on the scoreboard".
Campazzo: "They played better"
"They played better and were more effective in the second half. They defended better and we ran out of ideas in offence. We were too predictable when attacking and didn't know how to defend at key moments".
"We played a very solid first half, but Panathinaikos were more effective in the second half. We managed to get back into the game, but they got good shots and we wore ourselves out trying to come back".
Causeur: "We were good for 15 minutes but afterwards we rushed our game"
"Panathinaikos played well in the last three quarters. We scored 54 points in the first half and 26 in the second. That's basketball. We were very good for 15 minutes, but afterwards we rushed our game. They made baskets and we were behind. That hurt us and we didn't manage to close the gap. We looked for other ways to play in the zone because we were desperate to find a solution".
