Marius Grigoni’s army broke Maccabi and leveled the series before the trip

After this match, the result of the series became equal (1/1). We remind you that in the first match of the playoff series, the Israeli club won 91:87 on Tuesday.

M. Grigonis was productive in this match, but did not shine. The Lithuanian scored 2 points, rebounded 2 balls and gave 1 assist.

“Maccabi” started the match a bit more solidly (8:4), but Kendrick Nunn reduced the difference to the minimum – 7:8 with a three-pointer. The latter, together with M. Grigonius, soon led “Panathinaikos” (14:12). Soon, the guests made a spurt and held the lead until the end of the quarter, 28:20.

Ergins Ataman’s students started the second half with a 5-0 run, and soon Kostas Sloukas equalized the score at 28-28. Panathinaikos took the initiative and the difference became double digits, and after the second quarter the home team led 51:39.

Panathinaikos took advantage of the fact that Maccabi’s attack was stuck – 56:39. Although Lorenzo Brown broke the hunger for points after three minutes, Maccabi had a hard time approaching and the home team continued to control the situation, and after three quarters, the home team was leading confidently – 71:60.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Tel Aviv club still tried to hang on to the game, but the hosts played confidently and the second part of the half did not have much intrigue.

The next match will be in Belgrade, because after winning the first match, the Tel Aviv basketball players also won the court advantage in the following two matches. We remind you that Maccabi plays its home matches in Belgrade, due to the ongoing unrest in Israel.
