The performance in Kaunas was not what Ergin Ataman wanted, Panathinaikos was defeated by Zalgiris (80-68), but the goal of the four-way tie is not changed.
After the comfortable victory over Armani Milano in OAKA on Wednesday night (31/1), Ergin Ataman claimed that Panathinaikos AKTOR has been 100% in defense in home games, but needs a better offense on the road. The Greens didn’t have it on Friday night (2/2) in Kaunas, losing to Zalgiris (80-68) and falling to 15-10 after the 25th round of the EuroLeague regular season.
Even so, Ergin Ataman’s team remains in a four-way tie with Barcelona, Fenerbahce, Virtus, Monaco and Olympiacos, nine games before the end of the regular season.
