Opposite lives for AEK and Panathinaikos in the “thriller”

THE AEK with its victory over Panathinaikos with four points (77-73) he made 4/4 in matches decided with differences of up to five points. They were preceded by:

*The home win 73-70 over Prometheus for the 8th game.

*The away 84-80 over Peristeri bwin for the 3rd matchday.

*The home win 68-64 over Peristeri bwin for the 14th matchday.

This is how the team of Ilias Kanzouris reached the record held by Olympiacos in this year’s Basket League (4-0). On the other hand, Panathinaikos does not have a good record since yesterday was its 4th defeat in the six games in which it participated and were decided with differences of up to five points.

The “Union” seems to have gained an appeal in the victories in such games, continuing this year the positive report it had last season. For the 2021-22 season, it therefore had a record of 7-2, a performance surpassed only by Larissa (8-2).

Alongside. The Vlado Jankovic, one of four AEK players to reach double-digit points with his 14, became the 54th in Basket League history to reach 2,400. It took the international forward 305 games to complete that number (7.86 average). Jankovic became the first player in this year’s Basket League with two 100% two-point shooting performances in a game that was left without a statistical error. He had 4/4 two points and no errors after the 6/6 he had in the away game against Ionikos, in which he also had no errors. It’s a combination of 100% on two-pointers with zero fouls, which was scored for the sixth time overall on the season.

AEK reached this year’s Championship for the third time in the three consecutive victories after they had been preceded by those against Ionikos away and Kolossos H Hotels at home. He did the same streak at the start of the first (1st-3rd matchday) and the second round (12th-14th matchday).
