Nick Calathes had a career-game and was 1 rebound shy of a triple-double in leading Panathinaikos Superfoods Athens to its third win in a row, a thrilling 81-82 decision over Anadolu Efes Istanbul at Sinan Erdem Dome. The game was decided at the buzzer with Efes having 11 seconds for the final possession, but James Gist blocked a jumper by Errick McCollum to secure the win for the Greens. The game hero, however, was Calathes with a monster game. He scored 13 of his career-high 29 points in the fourth quarter and added 10 assists and 9 rebounds to lead Panathinaikos to a 5-3 record. Gist and Chris Singleton had 11 points apiece in victory. Brock Motum led Efes with 21 points and 5 rebounds, McCollum finished with 16 points, Vladimir Stimac scored 15 and Bryant Dunston had 12 in the losing effort.
