Bartzokas: 'We Controlled the Game, Hope to Have Dorsey for Game 4'

Olympiacos secured a crucial 102-92 victory over Panathinaikos in Game 3 of the Stoiximan GBL finals, establishing a 2-1 lead and moving closer to the championship title. The win requires just one more victory to clinch the championship.

Coach Giorgos Bartzokas acknowledged his team's strong performance, particularly in controlling the game's tempo and executing defensively at critical moments. However, he also pointed out areas needing improvement, indicating that the team's overall performance was not yet complete.

“

We controlled the game throughout. Except for one moment where they took a two-point lead. I believe we have room for improvement. The fatigue is significant, as we've been active since August. This applies to all teams in all leagues. What matters now is the win.
