Her third matchday Basketball League combined with a historic performance, being just the second since 1992-93 and the first in 29 years, to feature four “100s”!
In order, AEK Bettsson (100), Olympiakos (102), Prometheus (111) and Panathinaikos (111) recorded three-digit performances in the attack during the development of the same matchday, something that had happened since December 1994.
At December 20, 1994 the Ampelokipi had defeated Aris in overtime with 116-115 (Fadeberk 39, Stavrakopoulos 34 – White 47, King 27). A day later GS Larissas defeated Panionios 102-69 (Chitoum 34, Scott 23 – Mays 28, Christodoulou 12) and Olympiacos defeated Sporting 116-55 (Fassoulas 23, Tarlats 21 – Papadimitriou 12, Costner 10).
There were four “100s” that were scored in the same matchday (on the 11th) but in three of its matches. What happened in the past three days (21-23/10) is unique in the history of the professional league. Four “100s” in four different races of the same competition!
We would have to go beyond the boundaries of the professional league, go before 1992, to find something similar. It was in the 1990-91 season when basketball was of course very different and the “100s”… routine. For this…
Four “100s” were scored in four different games (6th, 7th, 10th) and in two of them they were in different games. In the same season there were five triple-digit performances for Game 15, six triple-digit performances for Game 11, and the top of all was Game 5 in 1990-91. Then there were seven “100s” in five different games…
Pagrati-Panathinaikos 111-107 (2 par.)
Peristeri-Olympiakos 111-109
Aris-Filippos 118-84
AEK-Apollon Patras 101-88
Herakles-Panionios 101-92
In addition to this great achievement that is reflected in the league as a whole and in its 4th matchday…
*Panathinaikos shares with Prometheus the record for most points in a season, with the 111 they reached yesterday.
*The dominance of the “greens” was total in the second half and this is reflected in the partial 55-30 they did in it. The +25 is a new season record in the difference of one half, since it surpasses the +23 that AEK Betsson made two days ago in the second half of their match against Apollon Carna.
*The “greens” recorded the second biggest assist difference of the season with 25 compared to Lavrios Megabolt’s 10. Only Olympiacos had more against Kolossos H Hotels (+19).
*Panathinaikos became the first team in the season to present six players with double-digit points. Before this match, Maroussi had two and Olympiacos had five each.
*Ergin Ataman’s team tied its second-longest hitting streak of the season, going on a 13-0 run during the third period. With that he turned 58-47 at 21:16 into 71-47 at 24:38).
*The +38 that he got just before the end (111-73 at 39:30) is the second biggest difference that occurred in the development of this year’s games, behind the +49 that Olympiacos had at 35:47 of his match against Colossus H Hotels (39-88).
*Based on the ranking, Panathinaikos had the best performance of the first three matches. He had 142 and thus surpassed the performance of 140 points that Olympiacos had a day earlier in Rhodes.
*On an individual level, Kostas Antetokounmpo became the third Panathinaikos player this season to score 15+ points and go clean (15pts / 0mins). Only Marius Grigonis (20) and Panagiotis Kalaitzakis (16) in Peristeri had more.
