ALBA Berlin snapped a six-game winning streak on Thursday with a 105-106 double-overtime victory over Panathinaikos OPAP Athens at OAKA. Luke Sikma's three-point play with 8.9 seconds left in the second overtime proved to be the game-winner in lifting his team to 2-6. It also ruined a historic night from Ioannis Papapetrou, who set the Panathinaikos single-game scoring record in the EuroLeague with 39 points. That number is also tied for the eighth-most in EuroLeague history. Martin Hermannsson stepped into the shoes of injured point guard Peyton Siva to shine with 20 points and 10 assists for ALBA. Landry Nnoko added 17 points, Rokas Giedraitis scored 15, Luke Sikma amassed 14 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, Niels Giffey also scored 14 and Johannes Thiemann posted 11 points and 7 rebounds. In addition to Papapetrou, Jacob Wiley recorded a career-high 22 points for the Greens, DeShaun Thomas netted 16 before fouling out, Nikos Pappas - who started in place of the injured Jimmer Fredette - added 14 and Nick Calathes had 10 points, 10 assists and 9 turnovers. With the loss, Panathinaikos fell to 4-4.
