Panathinaikos had no problems extending its perfect winning streak in the Greek League to 21 games, by routing Aris Thessaloniki 84 – 63 at home.
Marcus Denmon paced the winning squad with 18 points plus 6 rebounds. Dinos Mitoglou added 11 points while Thanasis Antetokounmpo scored 9 for the Greens that implemented lots of rotation ahead of Thursday’s EuroLeague game on the road vs. Olimpia Milano.
Michalis Tsairelis was the only Aris players in double-figures with 14 points. His team fell back 27 – 18 in the first quarter and never recovered while Panathinaikos even made it a 30-point game (72 – 42) early in the fourth period. The guests simply managed to reduce that deficit down the stretch.
This Week in the Greek League, Olympiacos registered their first victory of the season over AEK, while a quite tense match took place between Panionios and Lavrio with curses by a team president towards a referee.
