Panathinaikos Aktor ended Bayern Munich’s perfect home record this season with an 80-69 victory, also securing the tiebreaker by winning both regular-season games against the German side.

Kendrick Nunn led the way with 27 points, while Dinos Mitoglou added 15, Jerian Grant contributed 14, and Kostas Sloukas finished with 11 points and 8 assists. Wenyen Gabriel, in his debut, had 6 points and 8 rebounds, anchoring a stellar defensive effort.

Despite Bayern’s strong start with a 9-0 run in the first three minutes, Panathinaikos took control, especially in the final minutes with a 9-0 run sparked by consecutive threes from Sloukas, Mitoglou, and Grant. The Greens capitalized on Devin Booker’s ejection in the fourth quarter to solidify their lead.

Andreas Obst scored 19 points for Bayern, but the hosts struggled with their 9/34 shooting from three and couldn’t overcome Panathinaikos’s defensive intensity.

With this result, both Panathinaikos and Bayern hold an 11-7 record, just one win behind the top spot in the standings.
