Panathinaikos claimed a decisive 96-84 win against Partizan Mozzart Bet in Athens during Round 20 of the EuroLeague. Despite missing key players like Kostas Sloukas and Lorenzo Brown, the Greens relied on a stellar performance from Kendrick Nunn, who scored 25 points to lead his team to victory.<\/p>\n
Cedi Osman added 18 points, while Omer Yurtseven contributed 17. Juancho Hernangomez had 15 points, including crucial shots, and Jerian Grant delivered a career-best performance with 14 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists, finishing with an impressive 33 PIR.<\/p>\n
The game was competitive through three quarters. Panathinaikos led 49-38 at halftime, fueled by Nunn\u2019s 18 points, but Partizan cut the lead to just six points (62-56) late in the third period. However, a buzzer-beating three-pointer by Hernangomez extended Panathinaikos’ lead to 75-63 entering the final quarter.<\/p>\n
Partizan, led by Sterling Brown\u2019s 23 points and Brandon Davies\u2019 19, attempted a comeback but fell short. A decisive 11-1 run by the Greens, capped by another three-pointer from Hernangomez, sealed the game.<\/p>\n
Panathinaikos now shares the second spot in the standings with a 13-7 record, while Partizan drops to 9-11, remaining just outside the play-in zone. Despite the loss, Partizan managed to narrow the margin late to avoid losing the tiebreak advantage from their earlier 18-point win in Belgrade.<\/p>\n
With this win, Panathinaikos continues its strong push for playoff positioning, demonstrating resilience and depth even without key contributors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
