With him Kendrick Nunn to score a big floater at the end of the match, o Panathinaikos AKTOR prevailed with a score of 81-79 Virtues at ‘Segafredo Arena’, went up 21-11 and stayed in second place, now even closer to home advantage!

After the match, Ergin Ataman he emphasized the great importance of this victory, while deifying him Nancommenting that he made many mistakes, but he proved his great quality in scoring with his buzzer beater.

His statements in detail:

“After the fantastic first half we had we didn’t play well, we didn’t play as well as we should have. We made a lot of mistakes, missed a lot of free kicks and shots, with Lesor and Mitoglou. Virtus found the rhythm they wanted and can easily get inside their home ground, they found the shots they needed with Belinelli who we couldn’t stop. We generally made a lot of mistakes, but in the end we played very good defense, got the rebounds and in the end Nunn found a score.

He could have found ways to score earlier but he made a lot of mistakes (including Nan), but in the end he hit the buzzer because he is a scorer. Two more final games of the regular season and we have to protect our position. Like I said we missed free throws, but we got offensive rebounds and second chances. In the first half we scored 51 points, while in the second half we were low. It was low for us, but we found a way in the end.”
