In a quick post-game interview with Georgios Zakkas from SDNA, the Argentinian guard was happy with the win, complimenting his teammates.

"Sometimes, we don't need to play many minutes to show what kind of players we are. Kendrick Nunn showed it in the first half, I did it in the second," Vildoza said. "Mathias Lessort was not so good in the first half offensively, but he showed character later, he showed what kind of player he is. Of course, Kostas Sloukas and Dinos Mitoglou were also important, as were all the others. Everyone is playing good and efficient basketball, and I'm happy about that."

Asked about the rumors of his possible departure from Panathinaikos after Nunn's arrival, Vildoza was baffled by it.

"I was just curious about who wrote these in the press, but I don't care. I have a three-year contract here, and I want to compete here. I want to show the world what I can do and do what the team needs. Of course, I was very happy at Crvena Zvezda last year, I miss Belgrade. I had a good time, they gave me the opportunity to go back to Europe and show things. I love them. But I'm here now. I love Panathinaikos, and I am happy here," Vildoza concluded.
