PAOK head coach Pantelis Boutskos, after the game against Peristeri Betsson, stated:
“I have to give a lot of credit to our players. By finishing the last two months in an incredible way and winning consecutive must-win games, we managed to reach the semifinals. We are very happy about that.
I also have to congratulate the entire coaching staff and all the personnel, because we truly worked tirelessly in order for the team to perform at this level. The medical staff was also on constant alert to help us manage all the physical burden we carried during this period.
What remains for us is the character we showed, the quality we displayed on the court, and the way we responded in crucial moments. Our mental strength and endurance were tested tremendously, and we are very happy to have reached the semifinals.
I also want to congratulate the team of Peristeri. They truly presented an excellent image this season. They should be very proud of their work and the way they represented their city.”
