The third loss in the championship Panathinaikos made against AEK. In the 23rd day of the championship our team lost from AEK with 70-66, but remain first. Panathinaikos was very bad in the third period and despite that the players of Zelimir Obradovic had the lead in the halftime with 40-25, at the end of the third period AEK was in charge with 54-47.
In the second half Panathinaikos never show his real potentials and gave the opportunity to AEK to take a very important victory.
In the first 20 minutes Panathinaikos was very good, with Mike Batiste and Vassilis Spanoulis scoring when ever they want. But in the second half the “greens” lost their concentration, they were very bad in defense and in the offence also (Panathinaikos score 21 points in the whole sevond half). With all the above reasons Panathinaikos couldn’t get nothing more and now Zelimir Obradovic has to prepare his players for the game with Panionios.
