Panathinaikos defeated Peristeri at home by 89:86 in the 26th round of the Greek League, securing their 24th win.
On this occasion, Ergin Ataman’s team couldn’t count on Mathias Lessort. The French center wasn’t feeling well, and the decision of the multiple European champions was for him to skip the match preventively.
Peristeri started this game better. They won the first quarter with 25:13, but Panathinaikos managed to come back into the game by halftime (45:41). It was only in the final quarter that Panathinaikos, with excellent offensive play, managed to turn the tide and secure the win.
In the winning team, Dinos Mitoglou stood out with 25 points. Kendrick Nunn also had an outstanding performance with 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. For Peristeri, Nate Renfro was the top performer with 16 points, while Jermaine Love and Joe Ragland contributed 13 points each.
Panathinaikos remains in first place with a record of 24-1, while Peristeri holds third place with 16-10. Ergin Ataman’s team faces two Euroleague quarterfinal games next week against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
