Any…questions which might have arisen, found their answers early on. Panathinaikos had absolute moves initiative from the very first minute. It led by 7-0 and reached 12-2 (3’) with David Logan scoring 10 of these points. The margin grew to a sixteen-point lead (20-4, 5’50’’) with the “Greens” having fully imposed their pace, and using defense to get to easy baskets through proper collaborations. Ilissiakos tried and momentarily managed to react by crunching the margin down to 8 points (26-18, 12’10’’), but the “clover” returned even more dynamically. Two three-pointers by Sarunas Jasikevicius became the kindling for the score to soar to 45-20 (18’20’’), with Zeljko Obradovic using 1’37’’ before the end his 12th player, Fotis Zoubos too. The first half ended at 45-22.
The game did not change much when the two teams came back on court. The score difference kept gradually growing to reach a +30point lead (66-36) at the end of the third period and rising up to +33 points (74-41, 33’50’’) just a little later. The final score of 84-58 sealed the game.
