Josh Nebo played perhaps his best game of his career during the third game of the EuroLeague quarterfinal series against Panathinaikos.
His team won a somewhat bizarre game by 85:83 and now leads the series 2-1. They are just one win away from reaching the Final Four in Berlin. The American center contributed with 22 points (10/13 shooting) along with nine rebounds and an efficiency index rating of 31.
“Man, I don’t know what to say. The game was very demanding and exhausting. Even though they had a huge lead, at one point we stopped playing and just waited for the game to end. I’m glad we managed to wake up and win. We need to be better in the fourth game. They are a very quality team, nothing is over yet.
The reason for our relaxation is human nature, we simply relaxed due to the big lead. We have to find a way to recover and be fully prepared for the fourth game. We want to win for our fans. We’ll watch the video analysis and identify all our weaknesses,” said Josh Nebo.
