The match

After the nervous offensive start from both teams, the “greens” continued their good defense and with White and Papapetrou they were ahead 9-1, in the first five minutes. Then, the Russians reacted with the entry of Mayo from the bench, who came very “hot” from the bench, as a result of which they not only closed the gap, but also went ahead (13-15). However, Perry’s buzzer beater made it 15-15 in the first period.

With a “weapon” his defense and the aggressive… beauty of Sant-Ross, Panathinaikos escaped at +5 (24-19), in 12 ‘. The many mistakes from both of them continued and thus kept the pace of the match very low. There, Makon came very hungry from the bench and with his three-pointers kept the “clover” firmly in front (32-27). However, in the last three minutes, Vorontsevich did the great “damage” in the defense of the “clover” and so Priftis’ team went to the locker room with the slightest difference (36-35).

Panathinaikos had several problems with the confrontation of Lorenzo Brown and Canaan at the beginning of the second half, with Unix going to +5 (43-48), in 24 ‘. There, the “greens” pressed on the defense and hitting through the racket with Papagianni and Makon responded with 6-0 for the lead (49-48), in 27 ‘. The reaction of the Russians came with John Brown and Vorontsevich for +3 (51-54), but Papapetros’ terrible buzzer beater three-pointer made it 54-54 in the third period.

Starring Peri and Papapetrou, Panathinaikos consistently had the lead, which reached +4 (63-59), in 33 ‘. Then, Priftis’ players lost their concentration, with Hezonia putting Unix ahead (63-65).

Then, Jekiri got the offensive rebound and gave the ball to Lorenzo Brown, who with a shot at 19.7 ” made it 72-74. This was the final score, as Papapetrou missed a three-pointer on the exhale.

MVP: In such a marginal match that was judged on the shot, fatally the most valuable was Lorenzo Brown. The American guard took responsibility for the – winning – shot for Unix, despite the fact that he had lost the previous one.

The number that made the difference: The 7/28 three-pointers that Panathinaikos had, especially for a home game, was a very bad percentage and played an important role.

The ten minutes: 15-15, 36-35, 54-54, 72-74
