PAO continues to be unpredictable, W vs Top4 team Real

Real Madrid 79-94 Panathinaikos

Euroleague

Panathiniakos shot worse than Real Madrid from three, but overpowered them there, where you might think it is the least of succeed rate: inside.

The speed of Mathias Lessort and the possibility to go coast to coast, broke Real's neck.

Both teams were pretty secure with the ball, not turning the ball over too much (9 for PAO, 6 for Real), but PAO overpowers in Points in the Paint (50-44), almost couldn't miss from the line (18-20 90%) but also better in overall field goal percentages, as being worse from 3, means automatically the 2P FG must been tremendous.

Overall field goal % was 57-43 for PAO, which made the overall difference.

With this loss Real is still in top 4, but couple of teams already breathing in the neck. With this win on the other side Panathinaikos and Giannis Moscholios shoot themselves up like a rocket into PlayIns and pass by the defending champion Dominik Jovanov (Efes), who are now 9th.
