Panathinaikos did not live up to the circumstances in Moscow, with the result to be comfortably defeated 97-77 by CSKA.
The “greens” did not have Ioannis Papapetrou at their disposal, while on the other hand the Russians deprived them of Sengelia, Feigtman and Hackett. However, the defensive behavior of Priftis’s players did not bother those of Itoudis in the slightest and so came this heavy defeat.
The coach of the podium records on www.sportfm.gr everything that judged the match…
The defense showed the way to CSKA: From the very first ten minutes, Panathinaikos was not at all focused on the defense. Priftis’s players were very soft and did not draw energy. The result was to concede 31 points. The situation did not improve much afterwards, as the Russians may not have reached 30p. per season, but had from 22p. in each of them. At the same time, this made Itoudis’s players feel very comfortable attacking, having 23/39 two points and 14/28 three points.
Harmless “green” region: At the same time that CSKA shot quietly outside the 6.75m., Panathinaikos was having a hard time. And this, was one of the parameters that cost a lot in the “clover” in Moscow. There, the “greens” had 7/25 three-pointers, with five of them being from forwards! The four guards Perry (0/4), Makon (0/3), Bohoridis (0/2) and Nedovic (2/4) all had 2/13 together.
