Panathinaikos offered one more high performance to the more than 10,000 fans at OAKA, beating Ulker by 88-68, increasing their record to 13-1 and getting the group’s first place. The last game against in Real is now a typicality. Zeliko Obradovic’ team performed in high gear and turned the game into a strong training session with the coach taking the opportunity to use all his players. What’s important is Mike Batiste’s return; he played very well and contributed substantially in building this 20-points margin. Panathinaikos had a few problems only during the first period when Ulker managed to stay in the game, mainly thanks to Vidmar. The home team then “stepped on the gas pedal” with Sarunas Jasikevicius showing the way and the defense being once again the key for this win. Having all players in top form in offense, Panathinaikos took a 41-17 lead just before half time and ended the first half ahead by 42-29. PAO were explosive in the second half; besides Saras, Spanoulis, Alvertis, Perperoglou offered great help. Obradovic was making changes but all players gave 100% offering a good show. The margin reached 25 points (29΄, 68-43) and the final 88-68 pictures this comfortable win.
