Ataman nije hteo da odgovori na pitanje o otkazu, pa pobegao kad je pomenuta Srbija: "Ništa, ništa, laku noć"
Košarkaši Panatinaikosa su poraženi od Partizana veoma ubedljivo sa 78:62, čime su Zeleni doživeli jedan od najtežih poraza u sezoni. Posle utakmice, na konferenciji nije bio zadovoljan nimalo trener Ergin Ataman.
