Sweeping Panathinaikos in SEF with “executors” Nan and Brown!

Panathinaikos dominates in the second derby of the season! The “greens” were better than him Olympic throughout the match and prevailed 78-71 in the SEF, as a result of which they remained undefeated after 4 matches Stoiximan GBL and force the “red and white” to their first negative result.

Apart from a very competitive first quarter that ended in a draw (23-23), his team Ergin Ataman was significantly superior to the home team and maintained a margin of safety throughout the match, resulting in a stress-free victory in the final. They played a key role in this 13/26 3-pointers of Panathinaikos, which was in an excellent evening from afar.

The leader of the match for Panathinaikos was Kendrick Nunnwho played one of his best games in Greece. The American scored 25 points from 3/9 two-pointers, 6/8 three-pointers and 1/1 shot, with the “red and whites” never finding a solution to his face-off. In fact, he collected 4 rebounds and had 3 assists without a mistake.

Up close and Lorenzo Brownwith 18 points, 7 rebounds and 4/5 three-pointers. A lot of work in defense by all the away players. From him Olympicwho was in a very bad evening with 8/27 3-pointers and probably… he is flattered by the final score, 19 points he had Sasha Vezenkov and 15 o Evan Fournier.

In the 5th game o Olympic will play away to AEK (3/11 at 17:15), while o Panathinaikos will welcome Prometheus (3/11 at 20:15). Of course, the two teams have their “devil’s week” ahead of them Euroleague.
