One halftime was enough for Panathinaikos to take the victory against Egaleo. Our team played excellent basketball in the third and fourth period and won with 76-85. Very good game from Vassilis Spanoulis, Mike Batiste and Sarounas Jasikevicius.
One very crucial point that we have to mention is that Kostas Tsartsaris played again after two months and seemed to be ready for the big final of the Cup with Olympiacos in Wednesday.
Egaleo tried to surprise Panathinaikos, 14-10, but the “green” answered and at the end of the first period took the lead with 16-22. In the next ten minutes of the first half Magounis played excellent and lead his team to 37-33 of the halftime.
The next 20 minutes was Panathinaikos case. Players of Obradovic with Jasikevicius, Batiste and Spanoulis in very good shape made a run of 0-18 and in 30’ the score was 54-62. In the last period nothing changed and the Serbian coach had the opportunity to test some things for the game with Olympiacos.
