They have only passed 15 days from the December 13when Panathinaikos was beaten 93-67 by Efes in Polis, making its worst performance in Ergin Ataman. During this time, however, the “greens” managed to restore optimism to OAKAas they responded to this heavy defeat with three straight victories!
Specifically, the “seven-star” humiliated with a score of 103-74 Armani in OAKA, destroyed the 104-69 Baskonia in the same stadium, while he went through the previously “impregnable” Munich defeating 80-69 the very strong this year Bayern.
The scores speak for themselves, but the impressive thing in this period of three games is that o Panathinaikos is both the top offense and the best defense in the whole Euroleague. That is, he managed to improve his very problematic defensive performance, but also to increase his offensive output even more.
For the sake of truth, the “greens” count in the last 3 matches 135.4 points per 100 possessions, being approx 15 points ahead of second Real Madrid in the relevant statistics. At the same time, however, they barely accept 100 points per 100 possessions, a number that is… spacey and of course the best in the league, again above the “queen’s” 101.3.
At the same time, in the same period, European champion has it second best rate in the two points (61.4 %) and the first in three-pointers (43.5%). These outstanding performances brought him Panathinaikos in second place overall net ratingas Ergin Ataman’s total is better than his opponents vs 6.3 points per 100 possessions, with only Monaco of Vassilis Spanoulis to have a better number (7.8 points per 100 possessions).
