the Panathinaikos From innings and methodical self-handling, he finally found a way to play well for 40 minutes and expel his bad self. The negative line stopped at “6” and the odd swing of this Devil’s week stopped at “up”.

The Greens have gone 35 winless days, but they are just three steps away from the playoff line. in this strange euroleague In 2022-23, a good month can lift a team up as much as a bad team can bring it down. It is completely wrong for Panathinaikos to write off the year from now on.

The Greens exclaimed and relatively calmly saw the American try from 6 meters away after the demonstration that crushed his ankles. Walters And they threw him on the ground. Even if it was set before Baldwinthe equalizing shot (not the overtaking) was the possibility of extra time.

You will ask yourself, “With what heart will Panathinaikos enter the field again”. And reallyYou can’t lose two wins easily In your hands within three days …

Its two minutes hot Dwayne Bacon At the end of the last five minutes, with the ten points that brought Panathinaikos from -1 to +9, was certainly one of the most important points for the “greens” to win.
