Giorgos Bartzokas’ team had the upper hand for 30 minutes, entering the final period with +13 (61-48).

Despite this year’s given difference in quality between the two teams, o Panathinaikos showed that he can “beat” Olympiakos, that’s why there is a big one determination in the “green” camp for tonight’s game, aiming to even the series. Christos Serelis’ team wants to “build” on its good defense that it presented for the most part of Game 1, but also on the will and combativeness that it showed in the 4th quarter.

On the other hand now, Olympic wants to make it 2-0 in the series to “clean up” the title case next Sunday (11/06) in front of his home crowd and celebrate second consecutive double for the first time in its history. To leave OAKA with the double tonight, he will have to not take her out looseness that he showed in Game 1.

In racing, Panathinaikos will compete without problems, with Christos Serelis full of his “arsenal”, as all are present in the mission. On the other hand, Mr Olympic he might be deprived of his services Kostas Sloukas, who has been suffering from gastroenteritis for the last few days, as a result of which he has missed the last training sessions. Everything will be decided today, a little while before the jambol.
