Panathinaikos organized a 16-2 run in the last 6 minutes of the game. They went from plus five points (86-81) to 19 points (102-83) down the stretch.

For the winners, Jeremy Evans was very effective, posting 22 points (9/11 2PT, 1/2 3PT, 1/1 FT), 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 29 PIR.

Howard Sant-Roos added 19 points (5/6 2PT, 2/4 3PT, 3/3 FT), 2 rebounds, 3 assists, and 25 PIR.

However, PAO suffered a blow due to Nemanja Nedovic's injury. The Serbian guard got injured with 6:47 remaining on the clock (80-75) and limped off the court. An ankle sprain is the first estimation.

Nedovic received an unsportsmanlike foul by Lavrio guard Alexandros Nikolaidis while shooting a three-pointer.

The 30-year-old scored 15 points (3/4 2PT, 2/7 3PT, 3/4 FT) and dished 7 assists before the setback.

He will undergo medicals tomorrow to see if he will be ready versus ALBA Berlin. PAO head coach Dimitris Priftis said post-game that they are waiting for further evaluation but it doesn't look simple.
