Quotes by Pedro Martínez

 “I think it was a great basketball game from both teams. We have to congratulate Panathinaikos for how they played, how they fought, and how they defended. I think that despite being a high-scoring game, it was a good defensive game with a lot of effort from both teams. Obviously, one team has to win and one has to lose, and we were the ones who lost. We played well, we improved compared to the first game, and we improved from the first half to the second, where they made some incredible baskets, well deserved, like Osman's bank shot when they were ahead by three when they had it under control. And an individual play by Nigel Hayes-Davis decided the game. It was very tough because of how it happened. It's clear I congratulated the opponent, right? Their president is a disgrace, and it's unacceptable that the EuroLeague, a serious league, allows these characters who go against the values of sport to create a bad atmosphere in a beautiful sport. For him to go to the scorers' table trying to influence the game is completely unacceptable, and the EuroLeague should take action.”
