THE Panathinaikos had the great opportunity to secure the home advantage in its playoffs Euroleague Two races before the regular season finale, however, was defeated at home by Paris 101-98 and now a win against Monaco (outside) and a Red Star (inside) to avoid messing with adventures.
The causes of Panathinaikos’ defeat at OAKA are clear. The Greens once again came into the game, they did not catch Paris from the throat, so the French were found early and bombarding the green basket from the periphery.
Instead of imposing his game in Paris, Panathinaikos, playing at home and being the best team, he was dragged into the crazy pace of the French and the Run and Gun game.
At this pace, the French seem to have no opponent, so the difference was fired at 17 points at the end of the third quarter.
When Panathinaikos “woke up” and decided to play defense, he significantly limited Paris to the fourth quarter and managed in a matter of minutes to trim the big difference and return to the victory.
Only the Greens cannot return from hell to hell every week in the last seconds. They did it against Alba, and they did it against Maccabi a few days ago, but they could not shock Paris, who deserved 100% of the victory and eventually got it, since Panathinaikos’ last attack was not good and Huanzo failed.
What Jay Shorts, You Super Star
The ultimate protagonist of the match and the one who actually played … Panathinaikos alone was what Jay Shorts. Paris’s short -lived guard gave a recital at the OAKA, being an unsolved problem from start to finish for clover defense.
The American distributed 14 assists and equalized his career record in the competition, and lost the triple-double for a rebound, with the nine he lowered his best performance in Euroleague.
At 29:53 the shorts had 20 points (6/12 two -pointers, 1/4 three -pointers, 5/6 shots), 9 rebounds, 14 assists, 2 steals, 9 fouls, 4 errors, 3 fouls and 36 points in the rating system.
Certainly in the summer he will find him away from Paris …
