Panathinaikos defeated in Thessaloniki from Aris with 82-75 and didn’t continue his “run”, in the Greek Championship, that was reached to 16-0. The players of our team probably had their mind to the very important game, in Euroleague, with Siena and didn’t appear their right possibilities. Best player for Panathinaikos wad Dimos Dikoudis with 14 points and top scorer was Jasikevicious who had 15.
Aris took the ultimate control of the game from the beginning (18-9, 6’) but Panathinaikos, with Spanoulis in good shape tried to comeback (23-19, 10’). In the second period Aris was excellent and with score 29-17, took a 16 point difference at the halftime, 52-36.
The third period many times is the best of our team and that happened again. Panathinaikos tried to take the control, despite the fact that Aris was ahead with 18 points (60-42), and Spanoulis made the 65-63 (30’). At the last ten minutes Dimos Dikoudis and Nikos Chatzivrettas tried to take the game for Panathinaikos but Aris was better and took the victory.
