Panathinaikos Aktor cruised past Marousi, 100-74, in OAKA Altion on Sunday.
The Greens jumped to 8-0 in Greece’s Stoiximan GBL Regular Season, one game ahead of archrival Olympiacos.
Besides Kostas Antetokounmpo and Marius Grigonis stuck to the injury list, Ioannis Papapetrou sat out after violating team rules and will remain sidelined indefinitely, noted head coach Ergin Ataman after the game.
