Assistant coach Christos Chasanidis commented:

“We are entering the final stretch of the regular season, and every game is important for the final standings. We face a very good team that has had an excellent season. Peristeri is a well-structured side, balanced on both ends of the floor and dangerous for any opponent.

This will be our third consecutive away game within eight days, so energy management—especially defensively—will be crucial to impose our game. Key factors will be controlling rebounds and limiting turnovers to avoid giving the opponent transition opportunities.

We want to close the regular season with two wins in order to secure the highest possible position ahead of the playoffs.”
