Panathinaikos entered the clash with Partizan without Kostas Slukas, Lorenzo Braun and Matias Lessor, but it was far from having problems in the OAKA arena in the 20th round of the Euroleague.
The current champion of Europe easily defeated the “black and white”, easier than the final score (96:84) suggests, because he controlled everything on the field after the initial 8:2 in favor of Željko Obradović’s team.
“The Greens” mostly had a double-digit advantage, Partizan had a reaction in the middle of the third quarter when it reached minus six (62:56), but then Ergin Ataman’s team had a lead of 23 points…
Kendrick Nunn dominated with 25 points, Džedi Osman had 18, and Omer Jurtseven 17 in Panathinaikos.
In Partizan, Sterling Brown (23) was better than the others.
The second triumph in a row was achieved by Barcelona, which won the Principality – it was better than Monaco 98:84.
Dario Brisuela led “Blaugrana” with 27 points, Kevin Panter scored 14, while in Monaco Mike James had 23, with eight assists and four rebounds.
Olimpia Milano humiliated Maccabi in Belgrade (107:74), while Fenerbahce routinely justified its role as favorites against Alba – 90:73.
