The race

Kostas Antetokounmpo went into the game particularly hungry. With 6 points of their own and 4 rebounds of their own, Panathinaikos found itself in a double score (7-14) after 6’18” of the game. But Vassilis Toliopoulos came off the bench to change the score and bring about an 8 – 0 from Aris , because he overtook at the end of the period (15-14, 10′).

In the second half the game was more even as both teams scored point for point. Of course, the home team stole the show at the end of the first half when Chris Bankston pulled off an unimaginable thriller after a pass from Dimitris Katsivelis and after a timeout called by Yiannis Kastritis to organize his team’s attack, which had only 0.5″.

The third period rightly belonged to Panathinaikos and this is thanks to Lukas Vildosa. The Argentine guard made 5 (!) steals and scored 8 points during this period.

Aris tried to get back into the game and got closer to 4 points (55-59) at 34:15 minutes. Here Dinos Mitoglou attacked, scoring 5 of the Cloverleaf’s next 6 points for 55-65 with 3:45″ left. This was followed by a three-pointer from Marius Grigonis that largely sealed the victory for the Cloverleaf.
