Panathinaikos – Aris: The match

the Kendrick Nunn I pledged to lead him Panathinaikos In the first half of the semi-final against Aris.

Vassilis Toliopoulos was the counterweight.

The score until the start of the second half was balanced, as Nunn found a way to get to the Aris basket, despite the ever-changing scores.

The balance of the match changed midway through the second half. Bohorides' put on Lesor resulted in the Greek keeper being charged with unsportsmanlike conduct and a technical penalty for the Frenchman for his reaction.

A second technical penalty (which he had received earlier) rendered him ineligible, with the lessor protesting vehemently. This means that Panathinaikos will continue without its main centre.

As long as Nan was around, there was no problem. Even Vassilis Toliopoulos who scored 17 points in the first half with excellent statistics (5/5 doubles, 2/4 triples, 1/1 shooting) could only keep Aris close, but did not really threaten Panathinaikos.

Castretti were asked to face foul trouble early on, after 20 minutes Sanogo committed 3 fouls, and De Souza, Bankston, Starc and Persedes committed 2 fouls.

On the contrary, Panathinaikos finished the first half with four fouls, in addition to three technical penalties (two to the lessor, one to the Ataman).

This of course also translates into higher shots.

In the third quarter, the scoring rate decreased due to misses, but also strong defenses from both teams. For Panathinaikos, the explanation is simple. Nunn stopped giving points and the “Greens” were looking for the player who would lead them safely. Mitoglou was the most consistent solution, with the difference remaining at +10 points and Aris committing double the number of fouls he called in 30 minutes of competition (16-8).

Ronnie Harrell entered the scoring equation, with Toliopoulos remaining with a point in the second half, but by that moment Panathinaikos had found the solution, with Nunn playing the role of playmaker (5), while at the same time Mars He was unable to overcome the problems of many errors and limited solutions.

The best ever: the Kendrick Nunn With 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.

They expected more: Ares will wait longer than Bloomberg, at the start of the match, while the score is open.

He got… his performance was ruined: the Vassilis Toliopoulos He had 21 points on 3/8 3-pointers.

Competitors in victory: the Dino Mitoglou He was a huge help when Nan stopped recording (10pm). Grant's assists were also important (10 points, 3 assists).
