Panathinaikos Once Again Alone at the Top of the Euroleague

Panathinaikos moved to sole first place in the Euroleague standings. Olympiacos won at SUNEL Arena, which also broke up the top spot shared by the two Greek clubs. With this result, Olympiacos moved into second place in a six-team tie.

Giorgos Bartzokas' side faced a huge deficit in the game. Panathinaikos were trailing by 22 points in the 25th minute. The team cut the gap to 2 points in the 39th minute but lost the match. Beaten by Crvena Zvezda, Panathinaikos dropped to second place in the six-team tie with this result.

The defeat is Panathinaikos' second loss in four home games. The team will next face Dubai, one of the six teams in the tie, which has a 7-3 record.

Panathinaikos will host Barcelona at OAKA in a clash for the top of the table. Having performed consistently since the first game, Panathinaikos appear to have the home advantage in this match as well.

The top six teams qualify directly for the playoffs, while the top four get home-court advantage in the playoffs. Teams ranked seventh to tenth will take part in the Play-In Showdown.
