Panathinaikos – Fenerbachse analysis: Leader Sloukas and decisive Nan

He won 91–90 her at the OAKA as part of the 25th race for Euroleague, with the “greens” succeeding in getting a victory they needed her very much, mostly for psychological roles. Kendrick Nan and Costas Sloukas, who “signed” the prevalence of Erkin Ataman’s team, came out and spoke in the difficult times. In a game that did not resemble any normal Euroleague duration, Panathinaikos was able to win Fenerbahce 91-90 in the full OAKA, with the “greens” reaching 15 wins in the regular duration of the event. From the beginning to the end the race was full of agony, tension, passion and changes in the lead, with viewers on the platforms and those who saw the game from television, definitely being satisfied. CORVERSE After all, the final 91-90 speaks for itself! At the most difficult and demanding point of the year for Panathinaikos, Costas Sloukas and Kendrick Nan came out front and led in scoring, but also a presence on the floor, resulting in Sarunas Yasikevicius, despite his team’s tremendous offensive performance, not succeeding in leaving OAKA with victory. A victory which from whatever team he came from, one might say was a fair result, as the only 1 point that judged the game came in the final seconds and in a foul won by Kendrick Nan, which enabled him to go to the shots and give the “trifl” the victory. CORVERSE Of course, in order to do this, Sloukas had to earlier with his vast class and experience of making a steal that few players in Europe could, to go to the line of shots and bring the game straight (90-90) to a time point when the guests seemed to have won in their pocket. However, this never happened… With this result Panathinaikos improved his record to 15-10, he went up to 4th place of Euroleague and got a psychology victory, which can be pivotal at the end, regarding the playoffs and the advantage of the seat, which he claims. Besides, Ataman and his players know better than anyone the power of OAKA and want as much as nothing, in the next phase they have the advantage rather than the reverse. After all, we are talking about one of the best years if not the top in the modern history of Euroleague, which all teams can make wins, the distances between gladiators are limited and that by the end nothing is certain about any. Now the “trifl” with this win, gets several psychological points and prepares for Thursday’s demanding match (6/02/25, 21:15) in OAKA against Anadolu Efes, which Panathinaikos wants to win to make 2/2 in the last Hell Week of Euroleague in the season.
