A very difficult but also very important victory he got in Rose the Panathinaikos AKTOR against the extraordinary Colossus. The champions found it dark throughout the match, against the team of Giorgos Sigalas, but in the end the experience of the “clover” “spoke” and players like Juancho Hernangomet and Panathinaikos remained undefeated after the final 91-84.
Leading the way for the winners were Omer Yurtseven and Kendrick Nunn. The former had 20 points and 6 rebounds, while the American finished the match with 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Juancho had 15 points and 9 rebounds, while Lorenzo Brown finished with 14 points and 4 assists.
On the home side, Andrew Goudlock was fantastic with 25 points and 3 assists, while Perantes and Danucevicius each had 13 points, with Galvanini in his debut having 10 points.
Panathinaikos entered the match lazy and… tired (partly understandable since they went straight to Rhodes from Bologna) and the home team made sure to take advantage of it without wasting time. With first “violins” by Goudlock and Danucevicius, Giorgos Sigala’s team imposed its rhythm, “ran” the court and took a 13-7 lead with a basket by Goudlock, five minutes from the start of the game. At this point, Kendrick Nunn started to “warm up”, Omer Yurtseven was more than effective with both rackets and Panathinaikos was entering the match again. Sigalas threw Galvanini on the floor for the first time this season and he was attacked and the quarter ended 22-22 with Nan and Yurtseven having 9 points each.
Kolossos was better, leading with 8 points
Kolossos had the best half of this season, something that was proven even when Panathinaikos took the lead. The “greens” with Osman entering the offensive game and with Ataman asking for pressure, went ahead 23-27 after a steal and a basket by Sluka, but the Rhodians had solutions. And indeed many. Perantes, Gaudlo and Galvanini made the difference, with the home team making it difficult for the champions and 5:30 before the end of the half, Gaudlock’s surprise three-pointer made it 36-33, reaching 13 points. Panathinaikos continued to be problematic, Goundalk found support in Michalis Tsairelis and Kolossos managed to lead even with 7 points, 44-37, two minutes before the end of the first half. The difference reached 8, with a three-pointer by Petropoulos, but Ioannis Papapetrou made the final, 47-41.
Ahead is the Colossus with awesome Godlock
At the start of the third period, Kolossos increased the difference again to 7 points, 50-43, with the “greens” trying to play with Matias Lessor. The “clover” center started to get into the equation of the match as well and after 4 minutes of play the “clover” went ahead with 50-51, while in the 25th minute Perantes scored 54053, giving his team the lead again . The lead kept changing hands, with Juancho giving Panathenaic a three-point lead, 56-59, but the Colossus played its game again. 8-0 run starring Goudlock and 64-59, with Juancho scoring a three-pointer for 64-62 and … magical Goudlock answering with the same coin, 67-62 and reaching 23 points. Answer by Brown from 6.75 and the quarter ended with a score of 67-65 and two missed 3-pointers by Galvanini and Nunn.
Huacho “cleaned up”.
In the first two minutes of the last period, the match became… a rodeo. Kolossos with an amazing Perantes scoring two consecutive three-pointers led again with 8 points, 75-67, but with Nan responding to… a double, reducing it to 2 points, 75-73 and Giorgos Sigalas calling a timeout . Danucevicius with another three-pointer made it 78-73 (reaching his team’s percentage to 48%) with Nan getting the order to make a play and with two consecutive assists to Yurceven and Osman putting his… stone for 78 -78. Huatso declared himself “present” again and with 5 points of his own gave Panathinaikos a lead of 3, 80-83, with four minutes to go, while two minutes later a seminal pick and roll by Brown and Yurtseven brought out the Turks four by four for the 80-85 and essentially that’s how he “locked” the victory.
The Quarters: 22-22, 47-41, 67-65, 84-91
