Nunn shines as Panathinaikos beat Armani 80-75

Panathinaikos kept its place at the top of the Euroleague with an 80-75 win over Armani Milano in Round 8. Kenrich Nunn was the difference for the team, which now stands at 7-1. The American guard played 22 minutes 47 seconds, scored 20 points, handed out 6 assists and made 11 of 9 free throw attempts.

Nunn's basket in the final seconds sealed the win for Panathinaikos. He pushed the score to 77-74 after Zeljko Obradovic's timeout. After the game Nunn said the team's defensive and offensive choices paid off at the decisive moment. He also said they were better on the boards in the second half.

Nunn also spoke about the fans' chants aimed at him. He said the noise from the stands during his free throw bothered him, but he made the second shot. "I never left," he said, responding to the criticism.

Nunn also praised Obradovic's training approach, saying the coach's attention to detail makes things easier for the players. Panathinaikos plays its next game away at Efes on Thursday.
