“Queen” AEK tripled the… bad for Panathinaikos!

“Queen” AEK, bent the… troubled Panathinaikos in the Closed of Ano Liosion and it goes… full for the third place of the regular season of the Basket League!

Playing with tremendous energy and passion throughout the match, Elias Kanzouris’ team took the thriller over the “greens” with score 77-73leading the “clover” to his third consecutive loss in the championship!

Yes, she was the first win of “Enos” after five unsuccessful attempts against Panathinaikos, with Christos Serelis’ team on the other hand knowing its fifth defeat in this year’s championship, something that had happened since the distant… 2003!

Leading the way for the winners, who climbed to third place in the standings with a 12-7 record, was none other than Akil Mitchell, who finished the game with 17 points and 6 rebounds, while valuable assists were provided by Jankovic (14 points), Miles (14 points, 6 points) and Lemar (14 points).

For Panathinaikos, the one who went to change alone during the match was Dwayne Bacon with 22 points (6/12 tr.) and 9 assists, with the American forward missing a three-pointer in the last attack of the “greens” and with the score at 75-73.

The match:

THE AEK started with the match against Flionis, Yankovic, Miles, Papadakis and Mitchell, while Panathinaikos had Paris Lee, Papagianni, Williams, Bacon and Grigonis in his starting five. The “greens” entered the court very dynamically and as a result quickly took the lead with 6-0, hitting the “drawing board” with Papagiannis and Williams.

AEK found their first points after three minutes of the match, however, three-pointers from Papagiannis and Lee increased the difference at +7 for the “greens” (7-14) in five minutes.

With Grigonis and Gudaitić connecting with the opposing basket, Christos Serelis’ team increased the difference for the first time in the +9 (15-24) at the beginning of the second period. And while everything showed that Panathinaikos has the momentum and is going to “build” a difference, the matchday came “explosion” of AEK, which with an impressive 10-0 streak through… Mitchell, Miles, Jankovic and Lemar passed for the first time in front of me score 25-24 at 14′!

At that point in the match, something the attack of the guests that “short circuited” for 3.5 minutes (!), something the dominance of Miles and Mitchell near the basket that sent them to the shooting line, brought AEK to +8 for 58-50 at 28′. With two… cold shots behind 6.75m. of Bacon, Panathinaikos broke away aggressively, somewhat gathering the difference for the 60-56 of the quarter.
