Afterwards, we tried to break Olympiacos’ ball control and the connection between the tall and short players. Our attacks were bad in the third period. The opponent was also good in attack and somehow they came back. But we have a deep squad. Yam Madar returned from injury and contributed today. We used the advantage of our deep squad. It could have been a different result, but we played against a very good team. Olympiacos is a team that has played in the final four many times. Especially the 3rd period was a lesson for us. These We will work on it.”
